Abstract:
1. A method in a network security device comprising: receiving from a resource host over a non-secure hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) session a response to a request received from a client over a secure HTTP session, wherein the response includes a header, a body, and a uniform resource locator (URL) in the response body that is supposed to be for a resource host, but the URL does not designate a secure resource access protocol and the resource host requires the secure resource access protocol; loading the response into a buffer of a ring buffer; locating the URL in the response; rewriting the URL to designate the secure resource access protocol; parsing boundaries of the response; transmitting the response via the secure resource access protocol session to the client; and flushing the buffer up to a partial URL and load the buffer with the response to the partial URL.
