Syntax

virtual PSOCKADDR GetRemoteAddress(  
   VOID  
) const = 0;  

Parameters

This method takes no parameters.

Return Value

A pointer to a SOCKADDRstructure.

Remarks

The GetRemoteAddress method retrieves the remote interface address of the client that issued the request and returns a pointer to a SOCKADDR structure.

Example

The following code example demonstrates how to use the GetRemoteAddress method to create an HTTP module that retrieves the remote address of a client. The example then returns this information to a Web client.

[!code-cppIHttpRequestGetRemoteAddress#1]

Your module must export the RegisterModule function. You can export this function by creating a module definition (.def) file for your project, or you can compile the module by using the /EXPORT:RegisterModule switch. For more information, see Walkthrough: Creating a Request-Level HTTP Module By Using Native Code.

You can optionally compile the code by using the __stdcall (/Gz) calling convention instead of explicitly declaring the calling convention for each function.
