Location

Finding the location of the browser client.

1. Identify the IP adress of the HTTP request.
1. Look up the IP address f.ex. throught a database from http://www.maxmind.com/
2. Look up the reverse DNS address from the IP address. This is not very exact, and can easily be faked.
3. Look up the IP in the allocated ranges. Start at http://www.iana.org/numbers/
2. Ask the client broser to find the current location. This usually requires the user to accept. The location can usually be much more exact, especially if the device has a built-in GPS.
