There are several problems with getCurrentIP: - the method used to determine the IP is fragile at best since it returns the address of the interface that is able to reach an route to the target host - so it cannot be used to get the ip of a specific interface - it breaks if there is no route to the target host - it does not belong into the frontend There is a corresponding patch for the rest-service that adds the required functionality to the backend. I'll push it into my provide_actual_ipaddr branch on github.
