Express gives you access to the HTTP request variable, so you can get
at the address with the property `req.socket.remoteAddress`.

But why req.socket.remoteAddress is undefined?

ps: I'm using node v0.6.5 on windows.

Are you running it under IISNode? If yes, then the value will not be defined as IISNode acts as a proxy. There is a request to resolve this issue via the X-Forwarded header.

OK, but in my case req.headers['x-forwarded-for'] isn’t defined too!

I think it's

req.connection.remoteAddress

but if you use you're app as a back-end, maybe you need this:

req.headers['x-forwarded-for']

I don't know that its been added yet - its a current issue I raised about two weeks ago. Not sure if its made it into the latest builds yet.

Support for x-forwarded-for has been added to iisnode with
https://github.com/tjanczuk/iisnode/issues/94.

Also check out related feature https://github.com/tjanczuk/iisnode/issues/87
for accessing IIS server side variables.

Thanks,
@tjanczuk
