Abstract

See full text

A method, system and apparatus for tunneling non-hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) data streams through a reverse proxy. The method can include soliciting a connection with a reverse proxy protecting a back-end server computing device. A connection can be established with the back-end server computing device via the reverse proxy through the solicitation. Responsive to establishing the connection, the connection can be maintained in order to exchange non-HTTP data over the secured connection. Significantly, and unlike prior art HTTP tunneling implementations, in the present invention, the non-HTTP data can be exchanged over the connection without encapsulating the non-HTTP data within HTTP messages.
