Access client port and IP address from HttpRequestContext

[glassfishrobot]

Currently the only way to obtain the client IP address and port is by injecting
HttpServletRequest.

We need to support a method on HttpRequestContext implementations of which can
defer to Servlet or say the low-level Grizzly API.

Low-level Grizzly request has:

request.remoteAddr().toString();
request.getRemotePort();

Environment

Operating System: All
Platform: Macintosh

For a while, I'm using this hack to get the remote IP information: http://stackoverflow.com/a/18378248/398309

In the context of JAX-RS 2 and Jersey 2, It would make sense to add a method for this to javax.ws.rs.core.Request. Perhaps something for JAX-RS 2.1?

In the meantime, it can be added to org.glassfish.jersey.server.ContainerRequest

For resources, it's possible to work around this by injecting HttpServletRequest or equivalent. However, I need to access the IP inside an event listener. Any thoughts on what workarounds are feasible there?
