I am using PoolingHttpClientConnectionManager to create connections. I would
like to get what IP address my connections resolve to. Is there a API that I
can use.
I need it for reporting and also to drop connections if I think connected IP is
not the best IP address. I found this
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-656
Summary of my code,
PoolingHttpClientConnectionManager connMgr = new
PoolingHttpClientConnectionManager(socketFactoryRegistry); ....// build
custom http client . ... Set<HttpRoute> hosts = connMgr.getRoutes();
for (HttpRoute r: hosts) { InetAddress ip =
r.getTargetHost().getAddress(); break; }
The above code gets an IP only if HttpHost was created using IP in constructor
. From documentation of HttpHost.getAddress() Returns the inet address if
explicitly set by a constructor, null otherwise.
