Abstract:
A method executed by an Intermediary Node arranged between a Client and a Server for participating in the setting up of a connection between the Client and a Server is described. In response to intercepting a first message, the method transmits from the Client and destined for the Server, and requests for a connection to be set-up between the Client and the Server. The method recognizes, based on content of the received first message, that it is desirable for the Intermediary Node to perform at least one function on the requested connection, the Intermediary Node is transmitting a second message to the Client, comprising an identity of the Intermediary Node. This enables the Client to accept or reject the Intermediary Node as a node participating in the requested connection set-up.

Claim (Index 1):
A method executed by an Intermediary Node arranged between a Client and a Server in a communication network for participating in the setting up of a connection between the Client and a Server, the method comprising:\n intercepting a first message transmitted from the Client and destined for the Server, the first message requesting a connection to be set-up between the Client and the Server; determining, based on content of the intercepted first message, that it is desirable for the Intermediary Node to perform at least one function on messages exchanged over the requested connection between the Client and the Server; transmitting a second message to the Client, comprising an identity of the Intermediary Node, the second message comprising a request to accept the Intermediary Node as a node participating in the requested connection set-up and requirements of the Intermediary Node to perform the at least one function on messages exchanged between the Client and the Server during the requested connection, wherein the at least one function modifies content of the messages exchanged between the Client and the Server during the requested connection; responsive to transmitting the second message, receiving a third message transmitted from the Client accepting the Intermediary Node as participating in the requested connection set-up; and responsive to receiving the third message, performing the at least one function on messages exchanged between the Client and the Server during the requested connection.
