Requesting SystemInfo from IApplicationHost "GetSystemInfo" method

[chef 3808]

Hi! quick question about requesting SystemInfo through the IApplicationHost.

I'm looking to get the WANAddress for the server. I'm just wondering about the "remoteAddress" parameter in the "GetSystemInfo" method.

Could I just do a loopback on the IPAddress?

        public async Task<string> GetWanAddressAsync()
        {
            var sysInfo = await Host.GetSystemInfo(IPAddress.Loopback, CancellationToken.None);
            return await Task.FromResult(sysInfo.WanAddress);
        }

 

Something tells me that isn't the data the function is looking for.

Has anyone else done this is C#?

Huh... never mind, using the loopback seems to work just fine.

I'm not sure how you are using the WAN Address, but you may want the WAN DNS FQDN rather than the IP - as the IP is usually dynamic and may change ?  

Just a thought.
