Extracting OS Name

[Avi]

Hello,

From my rails application, I have given a download button, which will download a file from the server.

At the time of downloading, I want to save the values of IP Address & Client Type( from which OS - Mac/Windows/Linux & system it was downloaded ) to the database.

Any ideas how can I achieve this ?

Thanks.

rails get client os ip

Hello,

Thanks for the reply.

I got correct solution for system os. But I am getting the ip as 127.0.0.1 which is default.

I tried a few solutions. but nothing seems to be working. All are giving me same results.

How can I change the ipaddress to the current system;s ipaddress ?

That is just because you are accessing the app from the same PC as the
server is running on.
If you go to a different PC and access the server on the first PC from
there you should find that it shows the correct IP address.
