Question

I have this piece of code:

WebClient web = new WebClient();
System.IO.Stream stream = web.OpenRead("http://url/getAddress.html");
string text = "";
using (System.IO.StreamReader reader = new System.IO.StreamReader(stream))
{
     text = reader.ReadToEnd();
     reader.Close();
}

The result of this in HTML is an IP Address, but when i try to save this result in a database, the result that returns is the whole html page of the web request.
What am i doing wrong?

Example:

text has the result

if i do a Response.Write(text); it returns: 111.222.33.3

if i try to save the variable text which returns the value, this will save the whole html content from the web request page.

Answer 1

public static String GetIP()
{
    String ip = 
        HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"];

    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(ip))
    {
        ip = HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_ADDR"];
    }

    return ip;
}

i’ve found this solution, is perfect for what i want
