If you by "read" mean "find out what it is", and assuming you run a CGI
script, you may be looking for the environment variable $ENV{REMOTE_ADDR}.

actually from the tcp/ip perspective those are all the exact same
thing. sockets are sockets and you can get all the IP info you want
about a peer socket. the difference you claim is in the data protocol
that runs on top of the socket layer (including any encryption).

66.94.234.13 is a valid IP address which won't be matched by that pattern.

You should at least mention Regexp::Common if you're correcting an IP
address pattern. I know the original question was not about that, but
it's still better to make a useful reply than just to point out a
counter-example.
