ABSTRACT:
In general, techniques are described of enabling a client-based web browser application to browse a directory structure provided by a server on a private network via a secure gateway. In particular, an intermediate gateway device is positioned on a network path between the client device and a server device. The gateway device communicates with the client device via a secure network connection (e.g., a Secure Sockets Layer connection). When the gateway device receives a resource identifier that identifies a directory structure from either the client device or the server device, the gateway device alters the resource identifier. In particular, the gateway device alters the resource identifier in such a way that when the client device transmits a request to view the directory structure identified by the resource identifier, the client device transmits a request to view the directory structure in a networking protocol that the gateway device permits to pass through the gateway device.
