获取连接到C＃.NET WebAPI应用程序的客户端的IP地址

Question

I tried:

private const string HttpContext = "MS_HttpContext";
private const string RemoteEndpointMessage = "System.ServiceModel.Channels.RemoteEndpointMessageProperty";

public static string GetClientIpAddress(HttpRequestMessage request)
{
    if (request.Properties.ContainsKey(HttpContext))
    {
        dynamic ctx = request.Properties[HttpContext];
        if (ctx != null)
        {
            return ctx.Request.UserHostAddress;
        }
    }

    if (request.Properties.ContainsKey(RemoteEndpointMessage))
    {
        dynamic remoteEndpoint = request.Properties[RemoteEndpointMessage];
        if (remoteEndpoint != null)
        {
            return remoteEndpoint.Address;
        }
    }

    return null;
}

according to:

Retrieving the client's IP address in ASP.Net Web API

this is the combined approach which should be valid for self host and webapi host. Unfortunately I get null instead of the IP address.

I'm trying locally so I'd expect 127.0.0.1 or localhost as the IP address

Here is an expanded version of what you have that works for me.

static class HttpRequestMessageExtensions {

    private const string HttpContext = "MS_HttpContext";
    private const string RemoteEndpointMessage = "System.ServiceModel.Channels.RemoteEndpointMessageProperty";
    private const string OwinContext = "MS_OwinContext";

    public static string GetClientIpString(this HttpRequestMessage request) {
        //Web-hosting
        if (request.Properties.ContainsKey(HttpContext)) {
            dynamic ctx = request.Properties[HttpContext];
            if (ctx != null) {
                return ctx.Request.UserHostAddress;
            }
        }
        //Self-hosting
        if (request.Properties.ContainsKey(RemoteEndpointMessage)) {
            dynamic remoteEndpoint = request.Properties[RemoteEndpointMessage];
            if (remoteEndpoint != null) {
                return remoteEndpoint.Address;
            }
        }
        //Owin-hosting
        if (request.Properties.ContainsKey(OwinContext)) {
            dynamic ctx = request.Properties[OwinContext];
            if (ctx != null) {
                return ctx.Request.RemoteIpAddress;
            }
        }
        if (System.Web.HttpContext.Current != null) {
            return System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.UserHostAddress;
        }
        // Always return all zeroes for any failure
        return "0.0.0.0";
    }

    public static IPAddress GetClientIpAddress(this HttpRequestMessage request) {
        var ipString = request.GetClientIpString();
        IPAddress ipAddress = new IPAddress(0);
        if (IPAddress.TryParse(ipString, out ipAddress)) {
            return ipAddress;
        }

        return ipAddress;
    }

}

Assuming you are in a controller the above extension method allows for calls like:

HttpRequestMessage request = this.Request;

var ip = request.GetClientIpString();
