System, method and program for access control
First Claim
1. A proxy server which forwards an access request from a client to a data server and forwards response data from the data server to the client, said proxy server comprising:
- means for storing a first address location and an encoding format of said response data;
means for receiving a subsequent access request from said client which includes a second address location encoded by said encoding format;
means for comparing said second address location to said first address location to determine if said second address location is related to said first address location; and
means, responsive to a determination that said second address location is related to said first address location, for decoding said second address location based on said encoding format.

Abstract
System, method and program product performed by a proxy server which forwards an access request from a client to a data server and forwards response data from the data server to the client. A first address location and an encoding format of the response data are stored. A subsequent access request from the client which includes a second address location encoded by the encoding format is received. The second address location is compared to the first address location to determine if the second address location is related to the first address location. In response to a determination that the second address location is related to the first address location, the second address location is decoded based on the encoding format. The data server can be a web server, the response data can be a web page, and the second address location can include the first address. For example, the second address location can be an extension of the first address location.

8. A method performed by a proxy server which forwards an access request from a client to a data server and forwards response data from the data server to the client, said method comprising the steps of:
-
storing a first address location and an encoding format of said response data;
receiving a subsequent access request from said client which includes a second address location encoded by said encoding format;
comparing said second address location to said first address location to determine if said second address location is related to said first address location; and
in response to a determination that said second address location is related to said first address location, decoding said second address location based on said encoding format. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A computer program product to be installed in a proxy server which forwards an access request from a client to a data server and forwards response data from the data server to the client, said computer program product comprising:
-
a computer readable medium;
first program instructions to store a first address location and an encoding format of said response data;
second program instructions to receive a subsequent access request from said client which includes a second address location encoded by said encoding format;
third program instructions to compare said second address location to said first address location to determine if said second address location is related to said first address location; and
fourth program instructions, responsive to a determination that said second address location is related to said first address location, to decode said second address location based on said encoding format; and
whereinsaid first, second, third and fourth program instructions are recorded on said medium. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
