Ws: How can I get the client ip address?

[anonaka]

I would like to know the web socket client's ip address when the WebSocketServer get the connection event. How can I do that?

[nusofthq]

wss.on('connection', function(ws) {

logger.info('New websocket connection from %s:%d', ws._socket.remoteAddress, ws._socket.remotePort);

}

Thanks! It worked.

But I found that when the websocket is closed, there is no ws._socket.remoteAddress then. I don't know why.

Liu,

when you open a "ws", a part of the memory is used for the information
related to it. When you close it, its not available/allocated anylonger.

@dkdndes Yes. But I found that websocket can do that.

    connection.on('close', function(reasonCode, description) {
        console.log((new Date()) + ' Peer ' + connection.remoteAddress + ' disconnected.');
    });
