How can I get my local IP address using JavaScript?

Question

I'm using Selenium to drive a bunch of automated tests. One of those tests needs to know its own IP address behind our firewall. That means I can't use any external services or APIs. What I *can* do is inject JavaScript into the browser itself. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Javascript doesn't have direct access to ip information. You would have to hard code the ip information of that computer. Windows gets the dns information from the router and doesn't make that available to the browser directly.



you can get that info from the command prompt by typing ipconfig

Answer 2

If you're testing a service running locally on the machine running the tests, then use the loopback ip address (127.0.0.1) instead of the ip received from your dhcp/assigned. If you are submitting that data to some form or something.... that doesn't make sense, the service can retrieve the remote ip address, modify your server side if possible.
