Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for providing a gateway between one or more redirection client applications and one or more redirection server applications, the method comprising: establishing a connection with a redirection gateway client application; receiving a request from the redirection gateway client application to connect to a first redirection server application, the first redirection server application supporting a first redirection protocol; in response to the request, establishing a connection to the first redirection server application; establishing a connection to a first redirection client application, the first redirection client application supporting the first redirection protocol; bridging the connection to the first redirection server application with the connection to the first redirection client application; receiving a request from the redirection gateway client application to connect to a second redirection server application, the second redirection server application supporting a second redirection protocol incompatible with the first redirection protocol; in response to receiving the request to connect to the second redirection server application, establishing a connection to the second redirection server application; establishing a connection to a second redirection client application, the second redirection client application supporting the second redirection protocol; and bridging the connection to the second redirection server application with the connection to the second redirection client application.
