How can I get the server address in an IIS 7 module OnAuthenticateRequest hook?

Question

Can an IIS 7 module retrieve the server in an OnAuthenticateRequest hook or an OnPostAuthenticateRequest hook?

By "server" I mean the server that the IIS authenticated against (even if it's localhost, for example in the case of windows authentication)

In the method you add as the event delegate, you can do something like:

private void onAuthenticateRequest(object sender, EventArgs e) {
  var application = (HttpApplication) sender;
  HttpContext context = application.Context;

  string address = context.Request.ServerVariables["LOCAL_ADDR"];
}

This will give you IP address of the server currently serving the users request. If you want the servers name, then you could use either SERVER_NAME or HTTP_HOST instead.
