HttpServletRequest.getHost only returns IP address of server

           Summary: HttpServletRequest.getHost only returns IP address of
                    server
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.0.2 Beta 1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: AJP Connector
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: rasand@attglobal.net


Hi all- I have Tomcat 4.01 and 4.02b1 with Apache 1.3.22 communicating with 
AJP13. I've got this setup on both Linux x86 and Win2000.  I have implemented a 
filter to log inbound requests, but whenever I call request.getHost(), all I 
get back is the IP addess of the server, instead of the host of the request 
originator with 4.0.1. I suspect that it is taking that IP address of the 
Apache server. With 4.0.2b1, it returned null! 

I know also that there is a bug report open about that getHost returns the IP 
address instead of resolving the hostname, and what I read is that this should 
be fixed in 4.0.2-b1, but when I tried this version, getHost returned null!

Thanks!

-Richard
