Question

I am trying to get the user Host, IP, and Port using:

request.getRemoteHost()
request.getRemoteAddr()
request.getRemotePort()

But I am getting:

Host: 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1
IP: Address null
Port: 51111

How do I get the correct IP address, noting that our network IP start with 10.100.x.x

Many thanks.

If you are using the localhost in your request URI, then the IPv6 is 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1. Instead of using localhost, use your IPv4 in your request URI to get the correct IP.
