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 9):
A method executed by a Client requiring to set-up a connection between a Client and a Server in a communication network, wherein an Intermediary Node is arranged between the Client and the Server, the method comprising:\n transmitting a first message destined to the Server, requesting to set up the connection between the Client and the Server; receiving a second message from the Intermediary Node, in response to the Intermediary Node having intercepted the first message, the second message comprising an identity, identifying the Intermediary Node and information identifying requirements of the Intermediary Node to perform 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; determining to accept the identified Intermediary Node as a node participating in the requested connection set-up based on the identified requirements; responsive to determining to accept the identified Intermediary Node, transmitting a third message destined to the Server, the third message comprising a request to set up the connection between the Client and the Server.
