Requesting a remote ip in plugin

rubyonrails-talk
1

Im creating plugin for limiting the ip, i have included the plugin name in my controller

Controller: class AdminController < ApplicationController

  acts_as_ratelimit

def login     session[:user_id] = nil   if request.post?     user = User.authenticate(params[:name], params[:password])     if user       session[:user_id] = user.id       redirect_to(:controller=>"products", :action => "new" )     else       flash.now[:notice] = "Invalid user/password combination"     end   end end

my plugin was initialize properly but im facing the problem in getting the remote ip in my plugin code .

i have included the line request.remote_ip for getting the ip address, im facing the error us undefined method or variable as request

Is that any way to get the ip correctly.

@remote_ip = request.remote_ip

if apache is behind a mongrel remote_ip might not work and you would have to do something similar:

@remote_ip = request.env["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"]

def login   @remote_ip = request.remote_ip ..   Your code ..   logger.error("test: IP: #{@remote_ip}" ) end

Check your logs.
