Programatically Obtain the Port of Server Running a Webservice

[blackburnite]

I'm looking for a way to programatically obtain the port used by the web server running a webservice, from within that webservice itself.

For instance if I have a webservice "DoStuff", and I'm running it in debug on port 8001, I want to be able to determine from withing "DoStuff" that the port in use is 8001.  Is this possible?

Hi there,

I believe this may be somewhat what you are looking for:

The application reference has a property -> Web Server -> HTTP Port where you can read the LabVIEW Web Services port configuration for that particular machine.

Hope this helps,

Ed

Hello, additionally you could review the following links:

These forum topics are not exactly what you need, however they work with similar functions. Look out for the Property Node and WebSrvr.Port under Application Class.

Do you know if this only works in a published web service?  I tried this on the debug server and it only returns 0 as the port.
