Is the user's IP address someplace in session$clientData?

[Alex Bokov]

I would like to have a poll feature, and I would like to correct for multiple voting by linking votes to IP addresses. Then, I would only count the last vote from each IP.

In which object in session$clientData should I look for the IP address?

Thanks

Hello,

I am relatively new to Shiny and I would also like to have a poll feature. I have found an answer from Joe Cheng to a post from Dong Shichao (records, 27/7/2013).

 Here is what I have tried:

in ui.R:

    h3("URL components"),

    verbatimTextOutput("urlText")

in server.R:

 output$urlText <- renderText({

    paste(sep = "",

          "protocol: ", session$clientData$url_protocol, "\n",

          "hostname: ", session$clientData$url_hostname, "\n",

          "pathname: ", session$clientData$url_pathname, "\n",

          "port: ",     session$clientData$url_port,     "\n",

          "search: ",   session$clientData$url_search,   "\n",

          "IP address XFF: ", session$request$HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR,   "\n",

          "IP address: ", session$request$REMOTE_ADDR

    )

  })

I have obtained an IP address in session$request$REMOTE_ADDR, but it is not my IP address. It looks like a phony address.
