how to get clients external IP in java extension

[agrios]

Once client is connected,
how can I access his WAN IP
in server side Java extension?

nobody?

I was able to get LAN IP with this:

Code: Select all

String checkIP(SocketChannel ch)
{
    return ch.socket().getInetAddress().getHostAddress();
}


but WAN IP seems like big NONO
with AS2 in current Adobe Flash player.
Seems like I can only get PHP output on local
domain... not from external server.
Obviously PHP server will be external to user.

Is even users external IP visible from SFS server?

What you're using is correct.

I think if you use that for clients inside the same network in which the server is located on, you would get the LAN/private IP address. Have you tried that method for clients outside your network?

Yes, you are right, it works.
Outside of our LAN shows external IP.
Thanks BigFIsh!
