Abstract
A method and apparatus for managing dynamic content processing in a reverse proxy server. The reverse proxy server may include modules for handling dynamic links, invalid or incorrect HTML code, and the like, in HTTP data. The reverse proxy server may further accept user- or administrator-defined specific modules for handling HTTP data. Upon receiving the HTTP data from the host server in response to a request from a client, the reverse proxy server determines whether pre-patching module(s) or post-patching module(s) are to be executed. Depending on the determination specific modules are executed before, after, or before and after generic patching. In one embodiment, the modules may include tags for automatic starting of an application tunnel, when an application requiring an application tunnel is to be launched at a host server.
