If you want to know the address on the front of the building, you sorta have to go outside and look. Or in this case, ask someone who's already outside to tell you.
William's answer is probably your simplest and stablest bet. Drop it in the msg box: put URL "http://www.whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp"; whatismyip has been around for many years, and is likely to remain. They made that link exactly for the purpose we need it for here. They talk about it in a post here: http://forum.whatismyip.com/f14/our-automation-rules-t241/ Of course, if you have your own server, making a similar URL with the same response isn't too hard, whatever your server flavor is. This has the added benefit of giving you some usage statistics if you want to collect them. ~ Chris Innanen ~ Nonsanity On Wed, Feb 9, 2011 at 8:35 AM, Paul Dupuis <p...@researchware.com> wrote: > Okay, great suggestions from folks to use a hosted service to return the > public IP of the computer a LiveCode app is running on, but, I have to ask > because I am now curious, does anyone know of a way to do this that is not > dependent upon a hosted service? > > -- > Paul Dupuis > Cofounder > Researchware, Inc. > http://www.researchware.com/ > > > _______________________________________________ > use-livecode mailing list > use-livecode@lists.runrev.com > Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your > subscription preferences: > http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode > _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
