Method and system for secure URL-based access control
First Claim
1. 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 obtained from said response data;
receiving a subsequent access request from said client which includes a second address location that is encoded;
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, wherein the second address location includes the first address location, but they are not the same.

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.
