What is this request? How will it invoke the above code if you access the URL.

Can you please provide info how are you integrating this code?

Hi @srinivas_chann1 

 

Please use the below code. I use it and it works perfectly fine.

 

public static String getClientIPAddress(HttpServletRequest request) {
    String xForwardedForHeader = request.getHeader(HttpHeaders.X_FORWARDED_FOR);
    if (xForwardedForHeader == null) {
        return request.getRemoteAddr();
    } else {
        return new StringTokenizer(xForwardedForHeader, ",").nextToken().trim();
    }
}

 

Thanks!

        Hi @srinivas_chann1 ,

         

        Host name - Host name can be obtained from the SlingHTTPServletRequest object header "referer". Sample - 

        request.getHeader("referer");

         

        IP address - There are few methods that help here like getRemoteAddr()/getRemoteHost() of SlingHTTPServletRequest object or the request header value "X-Forwarded-For". But, they can't be entirely relied on, because for most of the scenarios you may be receiving the IP address of the Default Gateway or proxy.

         

        Thanks,

        Fani
