Network proxies reduce server latency in response to series of requests from client applications. Network proxies intercept messages clients and a server. Intercepted client requests are compared with rules. When client requests match a rule, additional request messages are forwarded to the server on behalf of a client application. In response to the additional request messages, the server provides corresponding response messages. A network proxy intercepts and caches the response messages. Subsequent client requests are intercepted by the network application proxy and compared with the cached messages. If a cached response message corresponds with a client request message, the response message is returned to the client application immediately instead of re-requesting the same information from the server. A server-side network proxy can compare client requests with the rules and send additional request messages. The corresponding response messages can be forwarded to a client-side network proxy for caching.

A Web site reputation service automatically redirects a browsing request for analysis by a rating server. On the browsing request, a proxy autoconfiguration (PAC) file is downloaded from a PAC server to a Web browser of a user computer. The function of the PAC file is executed, sending a request to a rating server along with a host name of a target Web site. The function does not immediately return a proxy server, but first requests a rating of the Web site. A rating result associated with the Web site is produced by the rating server. The rating server returns the rating result and the function returns an address of a proxy server to the Web browser based upon the rating result. A user can enable the Web Proxy Autodiscovery Protocol to use the service. Access control may be implemented by applying an HTTP authentication mechanism on the Web server that hosts the PAC file.

The techniques also include generating an alert in response to the analysis.

User inputs and/or Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), historically and popularly referred to as Universal Resource Locator (URL), requests in a content description language are passed through a security service (Web application firewall or a reverse Web proxy server) that is placed in front of Web application servers in order to protect the servers from hacking attempts. For validating Webform user inputs and/or URI requests and parameters the content description language is enriched by the security service with additional security tokens that are dynamically created based on the content being transferred. The user receives the information and returns input with the security tokens. The security service can then verify all provided user input data against the constraints described in the corresponding security token. As a result, the method may block the HTTP request or create log messages or notification events in reaction to violations of the user input data compared to the constraints in the security token.

The invention provides a method and a device for improving an accessing speed of a network resource, belonging to the technical field of an internet. The method comprises the followings steps: when receiving an http (Hyper Text Transport Protocol) request of a client, obtaining an html (Hypertext Markup Language) file corresponding to the http request; merging resource links corresponding to resources capable of being merged in the html file; or adding a merging code into the html file, wherein the merging code is used for indicating the client to merge the resource links; obtaining the resources capable of being merged, and merging and buffering the obtained resources capable of being merged; and sending a modified html file to the client so as to analyze the html file by the client and require the merged resources. According to the method and the device disclosed by the invention, the html file is modified on a web proxy gateway and the resources capable of being merged are merged so that the client can require aiming at the merged resources; therefore, each resource does not need to independently send out the request, the requiring times of a browser are reduced and the accessing speed of the network resource is improved.

The invention is directed to a method of transmitting data information and control information each having a source address and a destination address, from a server, having a server address, to a client, having a client address. The method comprises the steps of transmitting the control information from the server to the client via a network proxy that has a network proxy address, and transmitting the data information from the server to the client not via the network proxy. This system has the advantage that, on one hand, the data information is transmitted directly and therefore without any additional delay due to the network proxy, so that the throughput of the data information is maintained. In particular, a video stream can be sent over the network under real-time conditions. Additionally and on the other hand, the invention provides the advantages achievable by using a network proxy. In particular, the functions offered by a network proxy may still be available in connection with a continuous media service. For example the server providing the media stream may change over time without the client noticing the change. This allows e.g. load-balancing during stream transmission without perturbation at the client side.

Disclosed is a system and method for providing a transparent proxy for Internet communications. A filtering and redirection module receives IP requests from at least one client, reads and saves the destination of the IP requests, and rewrites the destination of the IP request to the destination of a proxy module. Upon being unable to read, or otherwise determine, a destination for an IP request, the proxy module accesses destination information about the IP request from the filtering and redirection module. The proxy module then transmits the IP request to a web server at the original destination.
