Abstract

A system for providing a multi-delivery-method policy-controlled client proxy is disclosed. The system may receive a request for a network service from a client. Based on the request for the network service, the system may detect the presence of a client proxy associated with the client. If client proxy is detected, the system may provide a data object that includes information that indicates that the client proxy is a primary source for content that may be requested by the client. The system may redirect, based on the data object, a request for the content received from the client to the client proxy. The system may then obtain, via the client proxy, the content by utilizing a delivery method that is selected based on a policy. Finally, the system may provide, via the client proxy, the content to the client.
