How to get the fully qualified Internet host name from the notes client?. In web we can use the cgi variable or @gethttpheader function to get the host name, but from notes client how can we get the same.

The Notes client doesn’t access a server by its Internet host name, but by its Domino server name. Once you have the Domino server name, you could look up the FQIH from this server’s server document.

Hi Harkpabst , Thanks for your response.

Just for your information – when you get the host name on the web, it is taken from the request sent to the server. That is, the server is not “aware” of it’s own name in that sense. You can have any number of server names and/or domains pointed to exatly the same machine, and the value returned by the HOST header variable will reflect the name used by the browser to make the request.

Hi Stan, Thanks for sharing the usefull information.

Right, and that means, you must really decide what you need to capture: Either the server’s fully qualified internet host name as defined in the server document OR the host name that was actually used in a given request (which can be something completely different).
