Question

I have got the ip address from the HTTP request object using

request.getRmeoteAddr() => 127.0.0.0

However im using netty and when I use

SocketAddress socketAddress = channel.getRemoteAddress();
InetSocketAddress inetAddr = (InetSocketAddress)socketAddress;
ipAddress = inetAddr.getAddress().toString();

=> 0.0.0.0.0.1

This is causing me problems when trying to compare, i want them in the same fomrat…

any ideas?

Answer 1

use getHostAddress(); that should do it.

InetSocketAddress inetAddr = (InetSocketAddress)socketAddress;
String address = inetAddr.getAddress().getHostAddress();
