In switching from the sync to async httpcore code I've lost a clean
way to inject the remote IP address into the HttpContext. My sync code
basically worked like this:
final HttpService httpService = new HttpService(...);
final HttpContext context = new BasicHttpContext();
while(connection.isOpen()) {
final String remoteAddr =
connection.getRemoteAddress().getHostAddress();
context.setAttribute("REMOTE_ADDRESS",
connection.getRemoteAddress().getHostAddress());
httpService.handleRequest(connection, context);
}
This allowed me to get the remote address in the handler. I want to
reproduce this same functionality using the async code. My first
thought was to create an EventListener and in the connectionOpen
method, cast the NHttpConnection to a DefaultNHttpServerConnection,
then get both remote address & context:
public void connectionOpen(final NHttpConnection conn) {
DefaultNHttpServerConnection serverConn =
(DefaultNHttpServerConnection)conn;
final String remoteAddress = serverConn.getRemoteAddress().getHostAddress();
serverConn.getContext().setAttribute("REMOTE_ADDRESS", remoteAddress);
}
The cast feels a bit clumsy, but since I'm always using a
DefaultServerIOEventDispatch, I think I'm probably alright.
Any thoughts on this? Is there a better way to go about this?
Thanks...
