Re: [flexcoders] Client IP Address

[Adam Royle]

If you want the machine's IP on their internal network, such as 192.168.1.5, 
etc, I don't think you are able to get at this.

Otherwise, these links might help you (some examples show how to get 
REMOTE_ADDR in Java). Not sure if it's relevant.

  I didn't frame my query properly. It was incomplete. My bad. 



  Here's the scenario. 
  - I am using Java backend (tomcat)
  - I am using Remote Object functionality. 


  Now from flex I wish to send the client IP when I invoke a method on the 
Remote Java Object. 
  What is the best way (if at all there is one) to send the client IP address ?


  Thanks

    The server can tell you what their IP address is.

    In PHP it would be something like this:

    $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

    But remember that IP addresses can be faked. And in the example above you 
might get their proxy's IP address, and not the actual IP address of their 
computer/router.

      Hi All,

      I want to send client's (browser's) IP address to the backend.
      As I understand, Flex doesn't provide support to fetch the client IP 
      Address.
      What is the best and browser independent way to send client IP to the 
      backend ?

      Thanks
