A method and apparatus for resource locator identifier rewrite have been presented. A security device receives from a resource host over a non-secure hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) session a response to a request received from a client over a secure HTTP session. The response includes a uniform resource locator (URL) that is supposed to be for a resource host, but the URL does not designate a secure resource access protocol and the resource host requires the secure resource access protocol. The URL is located in the response and modified to designate the secure resource access protocol. After modification, the response is transmitted via the secure resource access protocol session to the client.

Method and apparatus for resource locator identifier rewrite

The present invention comprises a method of and apparatus for simplifying the process of access to a network for a roaming computer user, divides the responsibility of servicing a given user wanting to access the network between multiple parties and minimizes the possibility of improper dissemination of email header data as well as improper use of network resources (including server systems) by non-clients.

Dynamically modifying a toolbar

Described herein is a method for accessing a digital network. For example, the method may include receiving a message from a network access device at a first Internet service provider, and sending at least a portion of the received message through a network to an access service provider. The method may also include receiving the portion of the message at the access service provider, and sending network access data, based at least partially in response to receiving the portion of the message at the access service provider, to the network access device. The network access data may include log-in information and an identified Internet service provider. A communication may be received at the identified Internet service provider that originated from the network access device based at least partially on the network access data obtained from said access service provider. A temporarily assigned network address may be assigned to the network access device.

Method for providing a network address

A method for resource locator identifier rewrite in which a network security proxy insures that a resource locator identifier of a response indicates a resource access protocol that should govern a corresponding request. A security device receives from a resource host over a non-secure hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) session a response to a request received from a client over a secure HTTP session. The response includes a uniform resource locator (URL) that is supposed to be for a resource host, but the URL does not designate a secure resource access protocol and the resource host requires the secure resource access protocol. The URL is located in the response and modified to designate the secure resource access protocol. After modification, the response is transmitted via the secure resource access protocol session to the client.
