Obtain client IP address using web script

Is there a way to obtain the clients IP address using an MVC web script?

Sure, but you have to use Java as your controller. Alfresco's WebScriptRequest wraps around a standard Java HttpServletRequest, which holds the IP adress of the requester.

Hello,

I was wondering if this changed or not.
With my WebScriptRequest I couldn't find a way to get the IP address or to retrieve a HttpServletRequest Object where I could apply getRemoteAddr().

And I was wandering, is the java-backed webscript the only way to do it or could I just expose some java object to javascript that would enable me to get the client IP?

Thanks,

Got it, all we need is a cast:


if (req instanceof WebScriptServletRequest) {
   HttpServletRequest r = ((WebScriptServletRequest) req).getHttpServletRequest();
   String sourceIp = r.getRemoteAddr();
}
