Get the IP address of the remote host

by

It’s possible to do that, but not very discoverable – you need to use the property bag from the incoming request, and the property you need to access depends on whether you’re using the Web API under IIS (webhosted) or self-hosted. The code below shows how this can be done.

private string GetClientIp(HttpRequestMessage request)
{
    if (request.Properties.ContainsKey("MS_HttpContext"))
    {
        return ((HttpContextWrapper)request.Properties["MS_HttpContext"]).Request.UserHostAddress;
    }

    if (request.Properties.ContainsKey(RemoteEndpointMessageProperty.Name))
    {
        RemoteEndpointMessageProperty prop;
        prop = (RemoteEndpointMessageProperty)request.Properties[RemoteEndpointMessageProperty.Name];
        return prop.Address;
    }

    return null;
}
