Hi all! In my app I want to detect what country a visitor is viewing from by their IP.
Although it's by no means perfect, the simplest option I've found is by using this site: http://api.hostip.info/ by passing the ip address as a query, this site returns an xml file with the country as one of the tags. http://api.hostip.info/?ip=6.255.255.255 returns (amongst other things) "<countryAbbrev>US</countryAbbrev>" Could somebody suggest the best way to assert the value of this particular tag in the xml file? Thanks Gavin --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
