Read IP address from Cookie

[Øyvind Isaksen]

Hello!

Have a site that contains both ASP (3.0) and ASP.NET files.
When I log inn, my login.asp write info to a cookie to use for
authentication in my asp.net files. One of the things I write to the cookie
is the users local IP address. My problem comes when I try to "use" this IP
address in my asp.net files. When I print out the IP adress from the cookie,
it looks like theis:

127%2E0%2E0%2E1

It has to be in a format like this: 127.0.0.1

How can this be done correct??
---------------------------------------------------------------
This is how I read from the cookie in my asp.net file:

Dim ip As String = Request.Cookies("login")("ip")
Response.Write(ip & "<br>")

OUTPUT: 127%2E0%2E0%2E1
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is how I make the cookie in my login.asp -file:
response.Cookies("login")("ip") = Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR")
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks for all tips :)

Try decoding using Server.DecodeHtml(Request.Cookies("login")("ip"))

Happy .NETing

Oyvind,

You'll want to utilize:

Server.HtmlEncrypt

and

Server.HtmlDecrypt

It's URLEncoded (or is that HTMLEncoded?)
Look for the corresponding Decode method, or just do a .Replace()

That should be :

Server.URLEncode
and
Server.URLDecode

See the sample at : http://asp.net.do/test/URLDecode.aspx

Oops,

Thanks for the correction Juan. I've pulled that out of memory, knew it was
one of the two, and remembered it wrong...
