IFWXConnection::GetExternalSocketName

The 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.

Return Values

S_OK

The method succeeded.

E_OUTOFMEMORY

Insufficient memory or resources; the method failed.

FWX_E_TERMINATING

The object is shutting down.

HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(WSAEFAULT)

The name or namelen parameter is not a valid part of the user address space, or the namelen parameter is too small.

HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(WSAEINVAL)

The socket has not been bound to an address with Bind.

Remarks

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.
