RELAY PROXY PROVIDING SECURE CONNECTIVITY IN A CONTROLLED NETWORK ENVIRONMENT

摘要

A computer system for accessing remote content stored outside of a local network from within the local network comprises a relay proxy and a plurality of applications. The relay proxy receives a first request from a first application and a second request from a second application, the first and second requests identifying first and second remote content items respectively. The relay proxy forwards the first and second requests to a proxy server that manages network traffic entering and leaving the local network. The relay proxy receives responses to the first and second requests, with the response to the first request including the first remote content item and the response to the second request including the second remote content item. The relay proxy forwards the first and second remote content items to the first and second applications respectively.
