DYNAMIC GENERATION OF PROXY CONNECTIONS

摘要

A system for dynamically generating proxy connections (120, 122) in a communication system (100). A client computer system (110) has a processor (202) coupled by a communications path (139) including at least one proxy connection to a first target server (160). An algorithm for dynamically generating proxy connections (318) is stored in machine readable storage (222). The algorithm is implemented by the processor causing the client computer system to generate (404) an additional one of the proxy connections in response to receiving a request and to generate (406) a program identifier (314) which identifies the additional proxy connection. The processor determines (408) if the program identifier is a unique program identifier. If the program identifier is not unique, the processor changes (410) the identifier to render it a modified program identifier (316) and stores (412) the program identifier or the modified program identifier to a configuration file (310).
