Abstract

Cloud service providers provide resources on a plurality of hosts some of which furthermore reside in different domains. An enhanced Reverse Proxy server is described which is configured to access hosts of multiple domains, handling client requests transparently. A request from a client to any of the supported service provider target hosts is addressed to a path in the domain of the reverse proxy server, and is formatted to include the target host domain coded as a short form name which is inserted in the path component of the request. Arguments in JavaScript calls of the response from the target host to the client are modified to ensure that future JavaScript operations generate similarly formatted requests. The enhanced Reverse Proxy translates Universal Resource Locators (URLs) of traffic between hosts of the service provider and the client in both directions accordingly.
