SAP Gateway Get ~remote_addr from request header

[Ibrahem]

Dear Experts,

I want to get the value of HTTP Header attribute ~remote_addr in create_entity method. but using below code is not getting it

"read headers
lo_facade ?= /iwbep/if_mgw_conv_srv_runtime~get_dp_facade( ).
lt_client_headers = lo_facade->get_request_header( ).

It's only caught in lo_sutil_runtime->payload_server_request( )

Thank you.

SAP might be ignoring this header purposefully.

Just curious. Why do you need this header?

We have developed B2C mobile application. and the user must use his customer number and password to verify his identity to able to create the sales order. That's why I need his IP along with the used device ID. for logging and to be used later in analytics.

If it is a mobile application, you can ask the developer of the UI to send the user's ip address as a custom header. (so that you need not rely on ~remote_addr

I will implement this solution if there is no other way to get it automatically. Thanks for the advice.
