mip

Get IPv4 address in rust - with 0 dependencies!

Crate mip gets the local IP address by requesting http://httpbin.org/ip and parsing the returned output.

It has 0 dependencies and only relies on the Rust std lib.

Usage

Add the following to Cargo.toml.

[dependencies]
mip = "0.4.0

use mip::IP;

fn main() {
    println!("My IP is {}", IP::is());
}

Or without use

fn main() {
    println!("My IP is {}", mip::IP::is());
}

Custom Endpoint

Instead of using httpbin.org a custom endpoint can be used. Custom endpoints may not parse properly so test before using in production!

use mip::{IP, Endpoint};

fn main() {
    let ip = IP::with_endpoint(Endpoint {
        path: Some("/"),
        host: "checkip.dyndns.com",
        port: 80,
    });
    println!("{}", ip)
}

Todo

Some things that need to be done

• Clean-up code
• Write proper docs
• Use multiple providers randomly / with fallback like http://checkip.dyndns.com and http://checkip.dyndns.org
• Support IPv6?
