How do you get Client IP Address in a Grails controller?
grails
Solution
I think this should be what you want:
- `request.getRemoteAddr()`
- `request.getHeader("X-Forwarded-For")`
- `request.getHeader("Client-IP")`
Problem
I had code like this in Ruby: ``` @clientipaddress = request.env["HTTP_CLIENT_IP"] if (@clientipaddress == nil) @clientipaddress = request.env["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"] end if (@clientipaddress == nil) @clientipaddress = request.env["REMOTE_ADDR"] end if (@clientipaddress != nil) comma = @clientipaddress.index(",") if (comma != nil && comma >= 0) @clientipaddress = @clientipaddress[0, comma] end end ``` It took care of all the possible ways that the IP might show up. For instance, on my local development machine, there is no proxy. But in QA and Production the proxies are there, and sometimes they provide more than one address. I don't need to know the Groovy syntax, just which methods get me the equivalent of the three different ways I ask for the IP above.
