Non-HTTP layer 7 protocol applications running in the browser

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium that provides instructions that, if executed by a processor, will cause said processor to perform operations including:

• receiving, at a server from a browser executing on a client device, an HTTP request;
• transmitting, to the browser executing on the client device, a response to the HTTP request, wherein the response includes code that when executed by the browser executing on the client device, executes a non-HTTP layer 7 protocol client that communicates with a non-HTTP layer 7 protocol service at an external network;
• receiving, from the non-HTTP layer 7 protocol client executing in the browser, data related to the non-HTTP layer 7 protocol service;
• proxying the data related to the non-HTTP layer 7 protocol service over a layer 4 tunnel that is interfaced with the non-HTTP layer 7 protocol service;
• and
• logging event data received from the non-HTTP layer 7 protocol client executing in the browser.
