Similar to:
remote_addr – The remote user’s IP address.
self.request.remote_addr
Instead, is there a way to get the remote user’s hostname ? Something similar maybe like,
self.request.hostname
As from the official document, The Request Class, doesn’t seem to have the option to get the remote user’s hostname.
I’m trying to uniquely identify a machine, with the combination of hostname+ip, because there are some users may share the internet gateway, thus having same IP address is possible and that would make ip address not unique enough.
Any advice on this ? or at least, could anyone suggest alternative way to uniquely identify an machine with anonymous identity ?
I don’t think this is possible over HTTP.
