Zusammenfassung:The connectivity and security of wireless handheld devices (HDs) can be leveraged to provide a presentation appliance (PA) such as a laptop with an ability to securely communicate with an enterprise's private network. A split-proxy server, with part of it executing on the HD and a part executing on the PA, implements a full HTTP 1.1 compliant Internet/Web Proxy to couple the PA for communication through the HD. Specifically, the split proxy provides support for the pragmatic keep-alive header, the CONNECT method, socket connection sharing, and thread pooling, to enable a fully functional browsing environment. Such an environment enables access to commercial web-based applications that are built on standard Internet technologies without the need for re-rendering or re-writing the user interfaces to suit the HD. In addition, Intranet web-based applications are made securely accessible without the need for additional VPN and remote access technologies.
