An approach which enables the overhead of performing a task associated with performing a procedure (function) call to be shifted to clients from a reverse proxy server when the reverse proxy server forwards web pages, the content of which may be dynamically created on the clients according to a description (e.g., using Java Script Language). The reverse proxy server may include instructions associated with the description to re-define the procedure call such that the task (in addition to the logic of the pre-defined procedure call) is performed on the clients. For example, with reference to a procedure call containing a URL accessible only within an intranet, the reverse proxy server may insert instructions which cause each client to insert the URL of the reverse proxy server such that any requests for a resource (corresponding to the URL) are passed through the reverse proxy server.
A method of enabling a reverse proxy server to control access of a resource from a client, said resource being identified by a Uniform Resource Locator (URL), wherein said client is located outside of an intranet on which said reverse proxy server is located, said URL being present in a web page, said method comprising:
A method of shifting overhead of performing a task from an intermediate server to a client, said task being associated with processing a procedure call contained in web pages provided from a web server, said method being performed in said intermediate server, said method comprising:
A computer readable medium carrying one or more sequences of instructions for enabling a reverse proxy server to control access of a resource from a client, said resource being identified by a Uniform Resource Locator (URL), wherein said client is located outside of an intranet on which said reverse proxy server is located, said URL being present in a web page, wherein execution of said one or more sequences of instructions by one or more processors contained in said reverse proxy server causes said one or more processors to perform the actions of:
A computer readable medium carrying one or more sequences of instructions for shifting overhead of performing a task from an intermediate server to a client, said task being associated with processing a procedure call contained in web pages provided from a web server, wherein execution of said one or more sequences of instructions by one or more processors contained in an intermediate server causes said one or more processors to perform the actions of:
A reverse proxy server enabling a client to access a resource identified by a Uniform Resource Locator (URL), said URL having an address accessible only within an intranet, wherein said client is located outside of said intranet, said URL being present in a web page, said reverse proxy server comprising:
A intermediate server shifting overhead of performing a task from said intermediate server to a client, said task being associated with processing a procedure call contained in web pages provided from a web server, said intermediate server comprising:
A reverse proxy server enabling a client to access a resource identified by a Uniform Resource Locator (URL), said URL having an address accessible only within an intranet, wherein said client is located outside of said intranet, said URL being present in a web page, said reverse proxy server comprising:
A intermediate server shifting overhead of performing a task from said intermediate server to a client, said task being associated with processing a procedure call contained in web pages provided from a web server, said intermediate server comprising:
