Question
Getting X-FORWARDED-FOR details from Http Request
Hi,
I am trying to get the X-Forwarded-For header details from the user login request in my PRPC personal editions (Pega 8.1). I added the following code to ApplicationProfileSetup activity. I am getting the "request" as Null, hence it is not getting into the if condition. Can you any one suggest, what might be going wrong in the below code?
Thanks

Hi,
Your code is correct. The header may not be there so you are getting a null result.
Try outputting all the headers we are receiving.
java.util.Enumeration e = request.getHeaderNames();
String header = null;
while (e.hasMoreElements()) {
header = (String) e.nextElement();
oLog.infoForced(header + ": " + request.getHeader(header));
}
We also have a logger called logHttpRequest that will output all incoming header and cookies. If you enable that to debug you can get the same thing.
Hope this helps,

Please find the logs attached. I see the X-Forwarded-For header is getting printed in Log files. Not sure why I am not able to get that in Activity.
Finally I am able to fix this with following code :-)
javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest req = (javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest)tools.getRequestor().getRequestorPage().getProperty("pxHTTPServletRequest").getObjectValue();
Glad to hear that you found the solution! We will mark your post as Answered.
Can you please turn on debug log 'LogHttpRequest' (through Admin Studio using Log categories) and share the log?
