Re: How to retrieve IP address of incoming packets in text file using httpd source code

[Bhavna Saini <bhavnasaini10@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Eric. I need.one more help.

In mod_log_config file, I found  "r->connection->remote_ip" and "r->connection->local_ip" fields. To retrieve the values of these fields i wrote a small code in "mod_log_config" file itself under "static const char *log_remote_address(request_rec *r, char *a)" which is as follows:

{

File *fp;

fp=fopen("/file.txt","a");

fprintf(fp,"%s",r->connection->remote_ip);

flose(fp);

}
 after that I compiled the whole httpd source code using "make" command, it worked fine without any error. Then i sent request to the server from different system, even than the file.txt didn't create nor the IP address. 

Please let me know if I am doing it right or wrong. How do i perform it, so that i can get IP addresses of all incoming requests as soon as they arrive the server.

 

Thanks

mod_log_config writes out IP addresses to the log. You could read the
same data in any hook.
