Get connection IPs from http::daemon server?

[BlakeEM]

I have a server that uses http::daemon to accept requests. I need a way to get the IP of the users connecting to the http::daemon but I can't seem to find out how to do this. Another way might be to some how get the IP of the user connected to the port that the http:daemon is on but I haven't been able to find anything on this either.

Thanks for any help!

Have you tried $ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'}? This is assuming that HTTP:aemon is providing the same functionality of a webserver

Shelling a `netstat` command in backticks might give you the connections established at a point in time, but you could miss something

I tried the $ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'} but doesn't work.

It seems their has to be some sort of command to get it.

Ahh I found it after looking around all over. For anyone curious...

$other_end = getpeername($c);
($port, $iaddr) = unpack_sockaddr_in($other_end);
$ip_address = inet_ntoa($iaddr);

$c is from accept() when you get the connection.
