US 9,438,701 B2 · Systems and methods for a SPDY to HTTP gateway

Abstract

The present disclosure is directed towards a system and method for providing a SPDY to HTTP gateway via a device intermediary to a plurality of clients and a server. An NPN handshake by the intermediary device may establish SPDY support. The intermediary device may receive and process one or more control frames via SPDY session with the client. The intermediary device may generate and transmit HTTP communication to server corresponding to SPDY control frames. The intermediary device may receive and process one or more HTTP responses from server. The intermediary device may generate and transmit SPDY communication via SPDY session to client corresponding to HTTP response.

Dependent claims

A method for providing a SPDY to HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) gateway via a device intermediary to a plurality of clients and a server, the method comprising:

(a) receiving, by a device intermediary to a plurality of clients and a server, one or more control frames via a SPDY session with a client of the plurality of clients, the SDPY session established by the device responsive to receiving an empty Transport Layer Security (TLS) Next Protocol Negotiation (NPN) extension during a TLS handshake between the device and the client;
(b) decompressing, by the device, name-value pairs in the header block of the one or more control frames;
(c) identifying, by the device, in the decompressed name-value-pairs a predetermined set of headers;
and
(d) generating, by the device responsive to the identification and for transmission to the server via HTTP, an HTTP request that comprises the predetermined set of headers from the one of more control frames of the SPDY session.
