Abstract
Methods for custom processing of HTTPS data transmitted between a web browser and a web server are described. The methods comprise creating a custom request header by intercepting and modifying a HTTPS header. The modification indicates support for preselected customized processing operations. The method further comprises sending the custom request header with a HTTP request to a web server. The methods further comprise receiving processed payload data from the web server and a HTTP response header. The processed payload data is created by processing original payload data based on preselected customized processing operations. The web browser modifies the response header to create a modified response header, and the processed payload data using one or more of the customized processing operations. The modified payload data is provided to the web browser for use. The methods ensure that the web browser implements and executes the underlying channel set up and encryption operations.
