Re: Obtaining the remote ip address
While on the subject of network identity, does anyone have a scheme to get the MAC address of the end device? I've never come up with a way to do it, but I haven't had it proven to me that it is impossible (yet).

I've never come up with a way to do it, but I haven't had it proven to me that it is impossible (yet). Which end? I'll assume you mean _not_ the server end. :-) The MAC address for the client end (i.e. the end you don't control) isn't going to be available to you unless it's local to your network. If that's the case, one option is parsing the output of the arp command as appropriate for your platform (note: this is inherently a platform-specific issue). If the other end is not local, it's unclear what value the MAC address would have for you. Maybe describing that will lead to some more effective solutions being suggested. -Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Obtaining the remote ip address
One quick question: I have a python cgi script running behind a CGI server which is also built using python using CGIHTTPServer module. How can my cgi script obtain the remote ip address? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

How can my cgi script obtain the remote ip address? The CGI specification lists a number of environment variables that are set for the scrit receiving the request. The one you want is REMOTE_ADDR, and possibly REMOTE_HOST. URL:http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/cgi/env.html Python makes environment variables available via the 'os.environ' map.
