Re: Obtaining IP address of client using CGIDEV2

Use the getenv subprocedure to retrieve the REMOTE_ADDR environment variable.

Note that many users access the web through proxy servers, socks servers, or
firewall hardware or software that does network address translation, so you
often won't be getting the user's real i.p. address.
