System and Method for Off-loading Online Meeting Updates Using Forward Proxy

摘要

A system and method for batching individual content requests received from clients at a forward proxy, and sending a batch content request from the forward proxy to a collaboration server is presented. A forward proxy sends an authorization request to the collaboration server for authorization. In turn, the collaboration server verifies each of the clients and provides the forward proxy with a personalized cookie for each client. Subsequently, the forward proxy receives individual content request from different clients for the same content. The forward proxy includes personalized attributes for each of the requesting clients, which include the personalized cookies, in a batched content request to the collaboration server. The collaboration server generates a batch content response, which includes the requested content, and sends the batch content response to the forward proxy. In turn, the forward proxy parses the batched content response and sends the requested content to clients that requested the content.
