How to access this->request from user_external module?

[joe-average-user]

Hello,

I am trying to write another module for user_external but need to access this->request data for it. I found out that the current code has no valid request field. Is there an easy way (probably inside my module) to gain access to this->request?

I read other apps, but did not really find an abstract doc for this. Maybe a more experienced app author can give me a hint?

Thank you for helping ...

I don't know, but I don't think that this is possible even for an app in Nextcloud, since only the index.php file gets access to this->request by default...
why would you need access to that object?

Lets say you want to process the remote IP address for some reason, how do you do that without this->request->getRemoteAddress() from OCP/IRequest ?
