Systems and methods include receiving a request, in a cloud system from a first device, to access a second device; determining if the first device is permitted to access the second device; if the first device is not permitted to access the second device, notifying the first device the second device does not exist; and, if the first device is permitted to access the second device, stitching together connections between the cloud system, the first device, and the second device to provide access to the second device for the first device, wherein the connections are implemented through the cloud-based system.

Association information is used to build association trees to associate base pages and embedded objects at a proxy. An association tree has a root node containing a URL for a base page, and zero or more leaf nodes each containing a URL for an embedded object. In most cases, an association tree will maintain the invariant that all leaves contain distinct URLs. However, it is also possible to have an association tree in which the same URL appears in multiple nodes. An association tree may optionally contain one or more internal nodes, each of which contains a URL that is an embedded object for some other base page, but which may also be fetched as a base page itself. Given a number of association trees and a base-page URL, a prefetch system finds the root or interior node corresponding to that URL (if any) and traverses the tree from that node, prefetching URLs until the URL of the last leaf node is prefetched. The prefetching starts the process of bringing over the various embedded objects before the user or program would ordinarily fetch them.
