Here's the flaw . . .

void handle_chat (void)
{

int rc;
int address;
char msg[256];
/* provide IP addresses in response to spoken requests */
if (!strcmp (aw_string (AW_CHAT_MESSAGE), "What is my address?"))
if (rc = aw_address (AW_CHAT_SESSION))
aw_say ("Sorry, I cannot determine your IP address");
else {
address = aw_int (AW_AVATAR_ADDRESS);
sprintf (msg, "Your IP address is %s",
inet_ntoa (*(struct in_addr*)&address);
aw_say (msg);
}
}




FIRST OFF, you fail to mention ANYWHERE that :
inet_ntoa is a member of winsock2.h and that you need to import ws2_32.lib
into the project for it to work. . .

SECOND, I find someone asking the bot for their own IP address to be rather
a stupid use for the function . . .

Here's my REVISED version : )

For this to work you must:


a.) #include "winsock2.h"

&

b.) Import ws2_32.lib into the Project . . .



char msg[256];
int address;
int session_id = aw_int (AW_CLICKED_SESSION);
aw_address(session_id);
address = aw_int (AW_AVATAR_ADDRESS);
sprintf ((char*)reply,"Whois results for %s", aw_string
(AW_CLICKED_NAME));
aw_say ((char*)reply);
sprintf (msg, "IP address: %s", inet_ntoa (*(struct in_addr*)&address));
aw_say (msg);


.. . . As you can tell, this was created as a way to find out the IP address
of a person simply by clicking on them : )
