20120096546 | Edge server HTTP POST message processing - A CDN edge server process receives an HTTP message, takes a given action with respect to that message, and then forwards a modified version of the message to a target server, typically a server associated with a CDN customer. The process may include an associated intermediate processing agent (IPA) or a sub-processing thread to facilitate the given action. In one embodiment, the message is an HTTP POST, and the given action comprises the following: (i) recognizing the POST, (ii) removing given data from the POST, (iii) issuing an intermediate (or subordinate) request to another process (e.g., a third party server), passing the given data removed from the POST to the process, (iv) receiving a response to the intermediate request, (v) incorporating data received from or associated with the response into a new HTTP message, and (vi) forwarding the new HTTP message onto the target server. In this manner, the given data in the POST may be protected as the HTTP message “passes through” the edge server on its way from the client to the target (merchant) server. In an alternative embodiment, data extracted from the POST message is enhanced by passing the data to an externalized process and adding a derived value (such as a fraud risk score based on the data) back into the message. | 04-19-2012 |
20120124372 | Protecting Websites and Website Users By Obscuring URLs - Websites and website users are subject to an increasing array of online threats and attacks. Disclosed herein are, among other things, approaches for protecting websites and website users from online threats. For example, a content server, such as a proxying content delivery network (CDN) server that is delivering content on behalf of an origin server, can modify URLs as they pass through the content server to obscured values that are given to the end-user client browser. The end-user browser can use the obscured URL to obtain content from the content server, but the URL may be valid only for a limited time, and may be invalid for obtaining content from the origin. Hence, information is hidden from the client, making attacks against the website more difficult and frustrating client-end malware that leverages knowledge of browsed URLs. | 05-17-2012 |
