Filed:

Oct 6, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/679842

Inventors:

Keith Bryan Knight - Lexington KY, US
Brian L. Pulito - Lexington KY, US

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709218, 709227, 709228, 709238

Abstract:

A method, system and apparatus for managing an interposed reverse proxy. The method can include comparing within a markup language document, a host address for the markup language document and a codebase address for a code base supporting logic disposed within the markup language document. If the host address and the codebase address differ, it can be concluded that a reverse proxy has obscured from view a server source of the markup language document. The method of the invention further can include retrieving a server affinity identifier for the server source from the configuration tags for the logic. Responsive to concluding that a reverse proxy has obscured from view a server source of the markup language document, a tunneled connection to the server source can be attempted through the reverse proxy by inserting the server affinity identifier in an address specified in the attempt.

International Classification:

G06F015/16

US Classification:

709227000

Abstract:

A method, system and apparatus for tunneling non-hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) data streams through a reverse proxy. The method can include soliciting a connection with a reverse proxy protecting a back-end server computing device. A connection can be established with the back-end server computing device via the reverse proxy through the solicitation. Responsive to establishing the connection, the connection can be maintained in order to exchange non-HTTP data over the secured connection. Significantly, and unlike prior art HTTP tunneling implementations, in the present invention, the non-HTTP data can be exchanged over the connection without encapsulating the non-HTTP data within HTTP messages.
