Systems and methods are described for using a client agent operating in a virtual private network environment to intercept HTTP communications. Methods include: intercepting at the network layer, by a client agent executing on a client, an HTTP request from an application executing on the client; modifying the HTTP request; and transmitting, via a transport layer connection, the modified HTTP request to a server. Additional methods may comprise adding, removing, or modifying at least one cookie in the HTTP request. Still other methods may comprise modifying at least one name -value pair contained in the HTTP request. Still other methods may use a client agent to manage HTTP authentication cookies.

L'invention concerne des systèmes et des procédés permettant à un agent de client opérant dans un environnement de réseau privé virtuel, d'intercepter des communications HTTP. Les procédés comprennent les étapes suivantes : interception, à la couche réseau, par un agent du client travaillant pour un client, d'une demande HTTP émanant d'une application travaillant pour un client; modification de la demande HTTP; et transmission, via une connexion de couche de transport, de la demande HTTP modifiée, à un serveur. Comme addition aux procédés précités, on mentionne des procédés comprenant les étapes suivantes : addition, retrait ou modification d'au moins un cookie dans la demande HTTP. D'autres procédés peuvent inclure une modification d'au moins un couple nom-valeur contenu dans la demande HTTP. Enfin, d'autres procédés peuvent utiliser un agent du client pour gérer des cookies d'authentification de HTTP.
