Unable to use remote_ip method

[IMcPwn]

Here's an example WebSocket connection:

[31] pry(main)> wss.getWsList[0]
=> #<EventMachine::WebSocket::Connection:0x00000001f35150
 @close_timeout=nil,
 @debug=false,
 @handler=
  #<EventMachine::WebSocket::Handler13:0x00000001f39ef8 @application_data_buffer="", @close_timer=nil, @connection=#<EventMachine::WebSocket::Connection:0x00000001f35150 ...>, @data="", @debug=false, @frame_type=nil, @state=:connected>,
 @handshake=nil,
 @onclose=#<Proc:0x00000001f36af0@/[REDACTED]>,
 @onerror=#<Proc:0x00000001f366e0@/[REDACTED]>,
 @onmessage=#<Proc:0x00000001f367a8@/[REDACTED]>,
 @onopen=#<Proc:0x00000001f36b90@/[REDACTED]>,
 @options={:host=>"0.0.0.0", :port=>443, :secure=>true, :tls_options=>{:private_key_file=>"privkey.pem", :cert_chain_file=>"cert.pem"}},
 @secure=true,
 @secure_proxy=false,
 @signature=3,
 @tls_options={:private_key_file=>"privkey.pem", :cert_chain_file=>"cert.pem"}>

I want to get the IP address of the remote host, so I use remote_ip like in commit 705c9f1436e830309a51d68ba9795d10deb0da4e.

[33] pry(main)> wss.getWsList[0].remote_ip
NoMethodError: undefined method `remote_ip' for #<EventMachine::WebSocket::Connection:0x00000001f35150>
from (pry):52:in `cmdLine'

However if I use the code inside of the remote_ip method I get this:

[34] pry(main)> wss.getWsList[0].get_peername[2,6].unpack('nC4')[1..4].join('.')
=> "[REDACTED_IP]"

Why wouldn't I have the remote_ip method? I'm using version 0.5.1 of the gem.

Odd, to say the least. Are you sure your runtime is not pulling in an older version by accident?

+1 undefined method `remote_ip' for #EventMachine::WebSocket::Connection:0x007fe4f3a315f8 (NoMethodError)

@IMcPwn temporal "monkey patch": class EM::WebSocket::Connection def remote_ip get_peername[2,6].unpack('nC4')[1..4].join('.') end end

I found that for some reason the em-websocket gem from https://rubygems.org/gems/em-websocket doesn't contain remote_ip method even though it's version is 0.5.1.

I ran into this tonight myself. I've never used this library before, and it's never been installed anywhere on my machine before tonight.

Following @smallfish135's comment, I also tested this with the version from GitHub, tag 'v0.5.1', and got the same problem. So it looks like both Rubygems.org and Github don't have this available (in other words, the gems are probably the same).

For now I've just implemented the monkey patch above and it works fine, but I figured since it's been over a year since the last response, I'd "bump" this issue with some timely status information.
