proxy server to enlarge a question of clients with data about the user

摘要

A proxy server includes a database, a network interface, and a processor. The database includes records storing user profile information. The network interface is coupled to a network to exchange data with a client computer and with a target server. The processor is operatively coupled to the network interface, the database, and to a memory. The memory includes executable instructions for causing the processor to receive a data request from a client computer at the network interface, augment the data request by adding user profile information, and send the augmented data request to the network interface for delivery to the target server. A data transfer method performed at a proxy server includes intercepting a data request directed from a client computer to a target server. The intercepted data request is then augmented at the proxy server by adding user profile information and sent to a target server.
