Is there a way to get requestor info in C# apiController

Question

I'm using microsoft's APIController in a web api, I'd like to see information about the requestor, such as the IP and whatever other info about requestor I can find out. IE

public class ExampleController : ApiController
{
    [HttpGet]
    [HttpPost]
    public HttpResponseMessage GetStuff(HttpRequestMessage message)
    {
        //get info about caller, maybe using
        //HttpContext.Current.Request. something
        var requestorIP = ????
    }

}

@mason Wait, no, it is MVC 5 isn't it? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASP.NET_MVC#Release_history — DavidG, Aug 19 '21 at 16:25
@DavidG Well it'd be ASP.NET 4, but MVC 5, and ASP.NET Web API 2. MVC's version number isn't really relevant though, as one can use ASP.NET Web API 2 on .NET framework without having any of the MVC specific bits. — mason, Aug 19 '21 at 16:27
Either way, there are already dozens of questions on how to do this. — DavidG, Aug 19 '21 at 16:31

It looks like you can get the remote IP address through Context.Connection.RemoteIpAddress, the remote port is also on the connection object.
