SERVICES WITHIN REVERSE PROXY SERVERS

摘要

Embodiments of the invention provide techniques for processing messages transmitted between computer networks. Messages, such as requests from client devices for web services and other web content may be transmitted between multiple computer networks. Intermediary devices or applications such as proxy servers may receive, process, and transmit the messages between the communication endpoints. In some embodiments, a reverse proxy server may be configured to dynamically generate Representational State Transfer (REST) services and REST resources within the reverse proxy server. The REST services and REST resources within the reverse proxy server may handle incoming requests from client devices and invoke backend web services, thereby allowing design abstraction and/or enforcement of various security policies on the reverse proxy server.

主权项

1. A method of transmitting web service requests between computer networks, the method comprising:
receiving, at a proxy server in communication with an internal computer network, a web service request from a client device in an external computer network separate from the internal computer network; identifying a first resource within the web service request; determining that the first resource is exposed by a first Representational State Transfer (REST) web service within the proxy server; invoking the first REST web service within the proxy server; and during execution of the first REST web service within the proxy server, invoking a second web service within a computer server in the internal computer network.
