IFWXConnection::GetExternalSocketName Method

Gets the socket name for the external socket. This method is implemented by calling the Winsock getsockname function on the actual external socket.

HRESULT GetExternalSocketName(
  LPSOCKADDR Address,
  LPINT AddressLength
);

Parameters

Address

[out] Pointer to a sockaddr structure that receives the socket address (name).

AddressLength

[in, out] On input, this parameter specifies the size, in bytes, of the Address buffer. On output, it receives the size, in bytes, needed to hold the address.

Remarks

When the proxy is chained to another proxy, this function returns the value for the last proxy in the chain.

Note  This method should not be called from the session event handling portion of your filter code; at that point in the code the network connection has not been established yet, and may be denied by the application filter or by another application filter. Typically you would call this method from within the IFWXDataFilter::SetSockets method of a data filter attached to the connection, that is, at a point when you are certain that the connection has been established.
