WCF operationContext返回网关而不是客户端IP地址

Question

im kinda new to developing WCF services. I'm using this code to get the client ip address,

private String getRemoteIP()
{
    OperationContext context = OperationContext.Current;
    MessageProperties prop = context.IncomingMessageProperties;
    RemoteEndpointMessageProperty endpoint = prop[RemoteEndpointMessageProperty.Name] as RemoteEndpointMessageProperty;
    return endpoint.Address;
}

in my localhost it works fine, but when i install my service in a server for testing, what I get in return is the client's gateway, any insight on the reason why that could be ???

Answer 1

try this one instead: First of all enable AspNetCompatibility mode, as follows:

<system.serviceModel>
        <!-- this enables WCF services to access ASP.Net http context -->
        <serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true"/>
</system.serviceModel>

And then you can get the IP address by:

HttpContext.Current.Request.UserHostAddress
