title: Does request.getRemoteHost() return the IP of browser host?
body: <pre><code>&lt;HTML&gt;
  &lt;BODY&gt;
  &lt;%
      // This scriptlet declares and initializes "date"
      System.out.println( "Evaluating date now" );
      java.util.Date date = new java.util.Date();
  %&gt;
  Hello!  The time is now
  &lt;%
      out.println( date );
      out.println( "&lt;BR&gt;Your machine's address is " );
      out.println( request.getRemoteHost());
  %&gt;
  &lt;/BODY&gt;
  &lt;/HTML&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In the JSP code above, I thought <code>request.getRemoteHost()</code> would return the ip address of the browser host. However, it returned something like: <code>0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1</code>. What's the problem?</p>
