address server

[marco]

Hi
Do you know a method for find address of the server ?
I have to do an "if" to find if I am in localhost:3000 or in
mydomain.com

Thank you an happy new year.

Often you can get this information from the URL of the current page.

Other than that you can derive this from the socket if you have access
to it:

http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/socket/rdoc/classes/Socket.html#M002385

And, please don't top post. Thank you!

Kind regards

I'm going to make the assumption that we are talking about a Rails app. The
easiest way I found was to call request.host_with_port within a controller
or a view. This will return the host name and the port number (if provided).

I use this approach to figure out which Google Maps api key to use in my
application (one for development work, another one for the "production"
site). Me too. This was my trouble.

There is a very active mailing list for Ruby on Rails. You can get details
on how to subscribe by going to
http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk?hl=en .

Hope this helps.

I find this method "request.env" who return a hash of all information :
request.env["SERVER_NAME"] and ["SERVER_PORT"]

Thank for your helps
