[REBOL] system/options/cgi/remote-addr type
From: pwawood::gmail::com at: 29-Jan-2008 12:40
I was having some problems testing the IP address of the client in a cgi script. I was
surprised to find that the datatype of system/options/cgi/remote-addr is string!. I had
expected it to be a tuple! I doubt that I can claim this a bug as it the type of system/options/cgi/remote-addr
doesn't seem to be documented anywhere. However, it is counter-intuitive especially as
system/network/host-address returns a tuple! (IE. system/options/cgi/remote-addr = system/network/host-address
always evaluates to false). Can anyone throw any light on why system/options/cgi/remote-addr
is a string! and not a tuple! Regards Peter
