Re: [flexcoders] Client IP Address

[Bhuvan Gupta]

ya, this is not relevant as I am using RemoteObject functionality.
I guess I will have to switch to HTTPPost instead of RemoteObject
and create a servlet at the backend to process the request.

Thanks for the help.

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.

Cheers,

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
