Is it possible to access the HttpContext.Current from the SaveInterceptor?

I have tried, but it is always null.

What I am trying to do is get the IP address of the request so I can log it.

No authentication is being used - it's just for logging web site analytics.

The EntityServerSaveInterceptor is running within the context of an EntityServer WCF service, so to access the HttpContext you must set the aspNetCompatibilityEnabled flag in the web.config. 
 
<system.serviceModel>
   <serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" />
</system.serviceModel>
 
If you do this, also be sure to set the targetFramework on the httpRuntime element:
 
<system.web>
 <httpRuntime targetFramework="4.5"/>
</system.web>
 
Alternately, you can grab the IP address directly from WCF, like this:
 
var ctx = OperationContext.Current;
var endpoint = ctx.IncomingMessageProperties[RemoteEndpointMessageProperty.Name] as RemoteEndpointMessageProperty;
string ip = endpoint.Address;
 
You'll need to add a reference to the System.ServiceModel assembly to use these types.
