Nodejs Server Hostname
30,004
Yes you can using the;
var express = require('express'),
app = express(),
server = require('http').createServer(app);
server.listen(3000, function(err) {
console.log(err, server.address());
});
should print
{ address: '0.0.0.0', family: 'IPv4', port: 3000 }
you can also retreive the hostname for the os by the following;
require('os').hostname();

Ok, so it seems pretty easy in Node.js to get the hostname of the request being made to my server:
app.get('/', function(req,res){ console.log(req.headers.host); });
Is there an easy way to determine the hostname of my actual http server? For example, my server is running at the address
http://localhost:3000
- can I programatically determine this address? I am using expressjs.
