Re: Client IP number?

Just a note.  There is a slight difference between windows & unix platform 
where server runs.  This explains why some will not get anything when 
looking for "http_host".  This works for me as I have to toggle between 
windows and Linux.

            String hostName = context().request().headerForKey("http_host"); 
//windows
            if (hostName == null)
                hostName = context().request().headerForKey("host"); 
//unix/linux

Cheers
