US 2019/0098105 A1 · REDIRECTION OF DATA FLOWS FROM AN END DEVICE

Abstract

A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which a connection service is provided based on a software development kit architecture for an end device that operates with an Android operating system. The connection service includes a library that, when called, sets-up a Hypertext Transfer Protocol connection between the end device and a proxy device using a function pointer and a portable operating system interface connect function. The connection service also generates and transmits a Hypertext Transfer Protocol CONNECT message, which includes a Proxy-Authorization header, to the proxy device, which triggers three-way handshaking between the proxy device and a target device, subsequent to an establishment of the connection with the proxy device.

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

receiving, by an application of an end device, which uses an Android operating system, a first input indicating to establish a connection with a target device;
establishing, by the end device based on the receiving, a connection between the end device and an Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) proxy device, using HTTP;
generating, by the end device, an HTTP CONNECT message that includes a Proxy-Authorization header and a destination address of the target device, in response to a successful establishment of the connection;
transmitting, by the end device, the HTTP CONNECT message to the HTTP proxy device which triggers three-way handshaking between the HTTP proxy device and the target device;
and
receiving, by the end device, a response to the HTTP CONNECT message from the HTTP proxy device.

3 more elements

An end device comprising:

a communication interface;
an application and an Android operating system;
a memory, wherein the memory stores instructions;
and
a processor, wherein the processor executes the instructions to:
receive, by the application of the end device, a first input indicating to establish a connection with a target device;
establish, via the communication interface, based on the receipt of the first input, a connection between the end device and an Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) proxy device, using HTTP;
generate an HTTP CONNECT message that includes a Proxy-Authorization header and a destination address of the target device, in response to a successful establishment of the connection;
transmit, via the communication interface, the HTTP CONNECT message to the target device via the HTTP proxy device;
and
receive, via the communication interface, a response to the HTTP CONNECT message from the target device via the HTTP proxy device.

8 more elements

A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium storing instructions executable by a processor of an end device that operates with an Android operating system, which when executed cause the end device to:

receive, by an application of the end device, a first input indicating to establish a connection with a target device;
establish, based on the receipt of the first input, a connection between the end device and an Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) proxy device, using HTTP;
generate an HTTP CONNECT message that includes a Proxy-Authorization header and a destination address of the target device, in response to a successful establishment of the connection;
transmit the HTTP CONNECT message to the HTTP proxy device which triggers three-way handshaking between the HTTP proxy device and the target device;
and
receive a response to the HTTP CONNECT message from the HTTP proxy device.
