How do I access geo information from the request for server components?

I understand how to access it on routes via middleware and could theoretically pass this down to the components via prop drilling, but it seems like this shouldn't be necessary -- the server component model avoids prop drilling in the case of e.g. database data, so it seems like it should be able to afford the same thing for request info.

hi @Broad-snouted Caiman were you able to make this work? so far from what i have read it will depend on your host. If you are using Vercel you can access in the middleware for the geo information. However i am still looking for a way to pass it to components.
right. Vercel relys on Cloudflare Edge, which has a mechanism to get geo info. you might want to try Cloudflare directly to get a better understanding how it works behind the scenes.
