Abstract:

Systems and methods for translating between an older version of HTTP and a newer version of HTTP are provided. According to an embodiment, a first request message, compliant with the newer version and directed to a server that supports the older version but does not support the newer version, is received by the proxy from a client that supports the newer version. A second request message, compliant with the older version, is created by the proxy by translating the first request message. The second request message is sent to the server by the proxy. A first response message, compliant with the older version and directed to the client, is received by the proxy from the server. A second response message, compliant with the newer version, is created by the proxy by translating the first response message. The second response message is sent to the client by the proxy.

Abstract:

Systems and methods are described for translating an HTTP/2 message into an HTTP/1 message by an HTTP proxy that connects HTTP/2 enabled clients with HTTP/1 only servers. According to an embodiment, an HTTP/2-HTTP/1 proxy receives an HTTP/2 request message from an HTTP/2-enabled client and directed to an HTTP/1-only server. The HTTP/2-HTTP/1 proxy translates the HTTP/2 request message into an HTTP/1 request message and sends the HTTP/1 request message to the HTTP/1-only server. The HTTP/2-HTTP/1 proxy receives an HTTP/1 response message from the HTTP/1-only server and translates the HTTP/1 response message into an HTTP/2 response message. Then, the HTTP/2-HTTP/1 proxy sends the HTTP/2 response message to the HTTP/2-enabled client.
