The "What is an acronym really and when should it be capitalised" debate is grey enough that it's easier to consistently use RemoteHttpIpAddr

I work in telecoms where there are so many acronyms that snakeCase is really painful (but we still use it). As for your second example, why not remote_HTTP_IP_addr ? Even more readable IMHO.
