Sometimes a proxy will add something, but usually there aren't any IP 
addresses in HTTP headers.

That's interesting. There are resources about secure programming, and 
securing networks, but I don't see much new stuff about basic network 
programming. They are probably casualties of the trend to make all 
communications run over HTTP(s).

I don't recall ever seeing a book or online resource saying "here's how 
to accept data from the network and process it in the most scalable and 
secure way using C or C++".

On the crypto side of things I recommend:

I tweeted your question:

Got this recommendation, doesn't seem to be too related to network 
programming though. Perhaps we'll get more.
