Ruby on Rails: Need to pull Server variables down into a form

[jag5311]

Hi All,

I am needing to pull down some user information about the visitors OS and browser in rails.

how can I do this?

These will be hidden fields in a form submission, so is this possible and if so, what is the proper syntax for doing this in rails?

Thanks,
Bryan

Have a look at http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/A...ctRequest.html
You get the full list of options but as an example request.remote_ip will give you the originating ip.
