how to capture users Machine Name from the http request?

Question

I am trying to implement session kill feature for my application. I need to show user all the devices from which he has logged in. But I am not able to get the users machine name from http request.

I have tried this: Another similar question in stack overflow But it gives user's machine name only if it is explicitly specified in hosts file and is the first entry there.

Google has implemented the similar feature google's implementation to review devices/sessions

It shows the user's machine name

My machine name CITRUSPN135 is shown here.

How can I implement the similar feature for my application? I am open for implementations both at front end or server side.

can not do, and even if you could do, if it passed through a proxy or gateway it would not be accurate — Scary Wombat, Mar 11 '16 at 05:55
Maybe there are using some ajax code to send this information, but I do not think it would be from http request per se. — Scary Wombat, Mar 11 '16 at 05:59
Then there must be some way to capture the device name from front end? — wizneel, Mar 11 '16 at 06:18
