Abstract: Requests for secure content are rewritten before delivering the secure content to a client. In one implementation, the rewritten requests include the information content from the original request with the addition of a predetermined domain. The domain may correspond to a trusted agent that acts as a proxy for all secure requests from the client. Because of the rewritten request, the trusted agent is contacted by the client for the secure content. The trusted agent may then transparently (from the point of view of the client) retrieve and forward the secure content to the client.

Abstract: A system for retrieving data includes a transmitter, a receiver and logic. The logic receives a command from a client for retrieving data stored on a server. The logic transmits the first command to the server via the transmitter. The logic also transmits at least one additional command to the server without additional input from the client, where the additional command is based on the first command.

Abstract: A two-way satellite communication system that includes a terminal having a receiver unit and a transmitter unit is disclosed. The terminal is configured to transmit and receive signals to and from a hub via a satellite. A terminal interface is configured to permit exchange of data between the receiver unit and the transmitter unit, wherein the receiver unit is configured to translate data received from a host to a data frame that conforms to a predetermined protocol format that is supported by the hub. A demodulator interface is coupled to an antenna associated with the terminal and is configured to permit exchange of the data frame between the terminal and the satellite. The data frame conforms with a return channel frame format. A satellite-to-hub interface is configured to permit receipt of the data frame at the hub from the satellite. The hub is configured to modify the data frame for transmission to an external packet switched network.
