A utility class that extracts the actual IP and port to which your remote executions are being routed to by Grid2

GridInfoExtracter.java

public class GridInfoExtracter{

	private static String[] getHostNameAndPort(String hostName, int port,
			SessionId session) {
		String[] hostAndPort = new String[2];
		String errorMsg = "Failed to acquire remote webdriver node and port info. Root cause: ";

		try {
			HttpHost host = new HttpHost(hostName, port);
			DefaultHttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
			URL sessionURL = new URL("http://" + hostName + ":" + port + "/grid/api/testsession?session=" + session);
			BasicHttpEntityEnclosingRequest r = new BasicHttpEntityEnclosingRequest("POST", sessionURL.toExternalForm());
			HttpResponse response = client.execute(host, r);
			JSONObject object = extractObject(response);
			URL myURL = new URL(object.getString("proxyId"));
			if ((myURL.getHost() != null) && (myURL.getPort() != -1)) {
				hostAndPort[0] = myURL.getHost();
				hostAndPort[1] = Integer.toString(myURL.getPort());
			}
		} catch (Exception e) {
			logger.log(Level.SEVERE, errorMsg, e);
			throw new RuntimeException(errorMsg, e);
		}
		return hostAndPort;
	}

	private static JSONObject extractObject(HttpResponse resp) throws IOException, JSONException {
		BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(resp.getEntity().getContent()));
		StringBuffer s = new StringBuffer();
		String line;
		while ((line = rd.readLine()) != null) {
			s.append(line);
		}
		rd.close();
		JSONObject objToReturn = new JSONObject(s.toString());
		return objToReturn;
	}
}

@mdsapon - I haven't yet delved into Grid4 completely. But its definitely on the cards. I didnt take this library so seriously because I didn't see many people even have a want to use it :D

I will work on sorting it out hopefully soon.
