What Session Data to Capture

[Hugh McLaughlin]

Hello everyone and thanks for your help in advance. I am
working on an application to track visitors to my
website. However, I am confused as to what data to
capture for the session, specifically the Remote_Host,
UserHostAddress, and UserHostname. I am unclear as to
whether the Remote_Host and UserHostAddress are the same
thing and what exactly the UserHostName signifies. I
have checked many resources, but can't seem to get clear
on this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Hugh,

Do you mean the HttpRequest Class? The class has a collection
property(ServerVariables) from which you can get the UserHostAddress and
UserHostName. t is one variable in the ServerVariables. So you may say that
UserHostAddress is the same as Remote_Host ,because it gets from the
Remote_Host. while UserHostName is the DNS name of the UserHostName.

Hope this will help you.

Regards,
Peter Huang

Hi Hugh,

Do you mean that the Remote_Host and UserHostAddress will return the same
IP Address, and the UserHostName will return DNS name if available?That is
true.

Here are some links helpful.

So, what you are saying is that the Remote_Host and
UserHostName should return the same IP Address. The
UserAddressName will return the DNS name if available.
Is this correct?

Hi Hugh,

Do you mean the HttpRequest Class? The class has a

UserHostName. t is one variable in the ServerVariables.

So you may say that

UserHostAddress is the same as Remote_Host ,because it

gets from the

Remote_Host. while UserHostName is the DNS name of the

UserHostName.

Hope this will help you.
