This invention relates generally to processing re-quests coming from a client to a network server. In the arrangement according to the invention an HTTP request coming from a client's terminal is received in an HTTP server from where it is picked up by a request handler. The HTTP server contains an application for receiving the client requests and sending responses, a queue for the received client requests, and another queue for the responses. The HTTP server is situated outside the firewall, and the request handler inside the firewall, as are back-end systems for the request handler as well. Since the request handler requires the HTTP server to return a client request in the re-quest queue as a response to the handler a connec-tion through the firewall is opened inside the firewall.
