Abstract: A security platform connected to a private network permits access to the private network from a public network (such as the Internet) through a variety of mechanisms. A reverse proxy system operating as part of the security platform provides access to web-enabled applications from a browser connected to the public network. The reverse proxy rewrites requests and responses so that the browser directs requests to the reverse proxy, from which the requests can be directed to the appropriate server on the public network or the private network. Responses come back to the reverse proxy, and are then forwarded to the browser. An SSL tunneling system permits fat clients to access the private network through an SSL connection. The SSL tunneling system employs a server component operating on the security platform and components downloaded to the client computer from the security platform.
