How do I get the client IP of a Tornado request?

I have a RequestHandler object for incoming post()s. How can I find the IP of the client making the request? I've browsed most of RequestHandler's methods and properties and seem to have missed something.

Solution

  • RequestHandler.request.remote_ip (from RequestHandler's instance)

    you can inspect the response like:

    ...
class MainHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler):
    def get(self):
        self.write(repr(self.request))
...
