Need the IP of referrer

[r0nke]

Hi Folks

I need to allow only visitors from a certain range of IPs to visit a website.

Is there a way I can capture the referrer's IP?

Not the IP of my website but the IP of the referrer.

I dont want to do it by URL but by IP.

Thanks

<cfoutput>#CGI.REMOTE_ADDR#</cfoutput>

We've heard that a million monkeys at a million keyboards could produce the complete works of Shakespeare; now, thanks to the Internet, we know that is not true.

thanks for your quick response.


<cfoutput>#CGI.REMOTE_ADDR#</cfoutput> retrieves the IP of my site, not the referrer's IP.

I was hoping for the referrer's IP

REMOTE_ADDR
IP address of the remote host making the request

The REMOTE_ADDR is the IP address of the client requesting the template.

I skipped the last line of your original post.

you'll have to ping it by website name using cfexecute probably and get the IP that way. there is no easy way to get it by IP.

The remote_addr is the IP of the visitor, skipping the last line of your post i thought you were using referr and requester interchangably.

here is a thread that can tell you how to ping. it'll have to be modified a bit to use the website NAME, but you should be able to get the gist.

You are right, it returns the Client's IP.

So I guess, I am looking for the IP value of http_referrer.

Thank you TruthInSatire
