URL address of caller

[huggy_d1]

How can I find the URL address showing in the address bar of whoever accessed a page via HS?

For example, from home, the url for home might be like this:

http://192.168.1.xx:8080 which opens the default web page

Outside home, it might be like this:

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xx:8080

I'm looking for the part between http:// & :8080. In IIS, this is a simple request.servervariables call.

Is there a trick using jscript or other method to get this? I need to create a multi-domain-aware home page that displays different pages depending on what domain or ip is used for calling.

Sounds easy right?

You can use:

RemoteIP=Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR")

Within a script you can also use hs.GetLastRemoteIP

The hs.GetLastRemoteIP appears to only provide the IP address. If the URL is wanted that may need to be submitted elsewhere and then scrape the URL info from that webpage.

ip-lookup.net gives info if you provide an IP.
IP : 216.228.178.123
Host : bc178123.bendcable.com
Country : United States

I'm sure there may be a way of automating this and then do a web scraping.

Does Jon00's script maybe help?

Normally in IIS you use server variable ("url") I think.

I found a supported workaround by creating a landing .aspx default page that looks at several things, then redirects to the right page.

For example, locally logged in as me, it brings up my page. I bring up my domain remotely and it brings up my page. For high WAF, she has her own domain, and now when she types her domain, the landing page senses it with:

strUrl = Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_HOST")

Then it can decide which page to redirect and magic happens.

This has already raised a few eyebrows and smirks since I didn't really tell her she has her own domain (yet). She thinks it is just network magic

Note the above does not seem to show support in the online help, but does work in .aspx vb.net.

Thanks for the ideas. Now I have a very cheap inbound multi-domain site.... sort of
