How do you get the computer name?
Question
Beginner

One of my collegues is asking me about this.

He's been able to retrieve IP address using HTTPRequestHandler but

he wants to get the User's computer name too and he doesn't know how to do it.

Does anyone know how to get it? 

Thanks.

Hello,

It seems to be impossible to get the computer's name, only the Ip could be obtained via GetIP server action.

Same question was asked here

Kind regards,
Sirajeddine

Hi Seung Hwan,

It is not possible to get the computer name. This is not a limitation of OutSystems, but a result of the way the web works. It would be a potential security threat if browsers could retrieve computer names.

@Kilian Hekhuis I comletely agree with you, it is potentially harmful indeed.
