I'm using node.js request module and I want to get the resolved IP address without using the dns module.
E.g.
var request = require('request');
request("http://example.com", function(e, r, body) {
// how do I get example.com IP address here?
});
So apparently the response.connection.remoteAddress answer posted elsewhere was true, but the value was set to undefined when execution reached response handler. To work around this, I added an extra event listener to save the value:
request("http://example.com", function(e, r, body) {
console.log("doesn't work", r.connection.remoteAddress);
console.log('does work', r.remoteIP);
}).on('response', function(res) {
res.remoteIP = res.connection.remoteAddress;
});
I'm not sure if things have changed since you posted your answer, but in case anyone else ran across this thread, the following worked fine...
const request = require('request');
request("http://example.com", (e, r, body) => {
console.log(r.connection.remoteAddress)
})
The output was: 93.184.216.34
I didn't have to add an event listener.
