Expose local address in reactive ServerHttpRequest

[bilak]

Hello,
is there any way how to obtain localAddr from incoming request? I mean if I have multiple virtual addresses/interfaces on host and I need to distinguish on which address was the request accepted.

Only way which I found now is little hack with netty's HttpServerRequest.

if ((((AbstractServerHttpRequest) exchange.getRequest()).getNativeRequest()) instanceof HttpServerRequest) {
    final InetSocketAddress localAddress = ((HttpServerRequest) (((AbstractServerHttpRequest) exchange.getRequest()).getNativeRequest())).hostAddress();
    logger.debug("!!! Hostname {}, HostString {}, Address {}",
            localAddress.getHostName(),
            localAddress.getHostString(),
            localAddress.getAddress()
    );
}

Is there any general approach?

Thanks

We already have ServerRequest#remoteAddress and ServerHttpRequest#getRemoteAddress and can add localAddress next to that.

By comparison the non-reactive ServerHttpRequest exposes both local and remote.

Yes that's the case. I was initially looking at non-reactive ServerHttpRequest so I was confused where can I find localAddress in reactive classes.
Just linking here this issue for reference.
