Hi there,
I’ve put code together for using the hostip.info data under Rails.
Hostip.info is a community-based project to geolocate IP addresses,
making the database freely available. This database allows to translate
IP addresses to city/country/longitude and latitude. It can be
downloaded from the hostip.info website. They have PHP code so far to
make any use of it.
My code can be found under
http://sugarmotor.net:8080
To test directly go to http://sugarmotor.net:8080/places/ip
It’s a simple start. If I get suggestions for changes I’ll apply them
before sending the code over to hostip.info. I don’t know how to get rid
of the %20, %2C etc. for some city names; these come with the database.
Please let me know.
See you
Stephan
