i'm writing socket program..

suppose i create a webserver..
i want to record all clients ip ..

what is the correct way to do this ?

For now, i solve this problem with directly parsing the header of every request that come from client. (i got the client ip from the "Referer: http://xxx.xx.xx.x/bla.html" line. This doesn't seem correct to me..(is it correct ??)

Anyway.., any suggestion ?

It would have helped if you said in what language you are programming. When it is C, you can retrive the address from the accept() function. In other languages there should be a similar construct.
