Implementations of the present invention relate to a communication framework that is readily adaptable to a wide variety of resources intended to be accessible through a firewall. In general, a communication framework at a gateway server can provide a specific connection to a requested resource in accordance with a wide range of resource and/or network access policies. In one instance, a client requests a connection to a specific resource behind a firewall. The communication framework authenticates the connection, and quarantines the connection until determining, for example, that the client is using an appropriate resource features. If appropriately authenticated, the communication framework can pass control of the connection to an appropriately identified protocol plug-in processor, which facilitates a direct connection to the requested resource at an application layer of a communication stack. |
