ABSTRACT:
Technology is disclosed for accessing multiple network resources through a single portal. A Portal Bridge directs requests from the portal to multiple network resources and channels responses from the network resources to the portal. The Portal Bridge receives a request from a portal that calls for a response from a targeted network resource. The Portal Bridge forwards a request to the targeted network resource to obtain the response sought by the portal's request. The Portal Bridge receives a response to the request from the targeted network resource. The Portal Bridge processes the response and forwards the processed response to the portal. During processing, the Portal Bridge replaces links in the response with links to the Portal Bridge. This enables the Portal Bridge to receive and properly route any portal requests arising out of the links.
