Abstract
Requests for secure content are rewritten before delivering the secure content to a client. In one implementation, the rewritten requests include the information content from the original request with the addition of a predetermined domain. The domain may correspond to a trusted agent that acts as a proxy for all secure requests from the client. Because of the rewritten request, the trusted agent is contacted by the client for the secure content. The trusted agent may then transparently (from the point of view of the client) retrieve and forward the secure content to the client.
