Writing A Web Browser.... Sort of...

[Guest]

I need to write a control for a SharePoint installation that can act as a proxy for web requests in order to host existing porlets in a SharePoint window.

Basically, I need to be able to initiate a request to a portlet server including customized information in the HTTP request header. Then, as the response comes in, I need to modify all of the links that refer back to the portlet server so that I can intercept them and include the customized HTTP header again.

Any thoughts on how to do this in general? And anything on implementing this in SharePoint is great to. Thanks.

Hello,

As I understand, you want modify a http request before your portlet server
(SPS server here?) handle it and modify the response message before it is
sent to clients, Is my understanding correct?

In SPS/WSS there is no such settings. But you may consider the HttpModule
in ASP.NET which is still able to used in SPS server:

If there is any further question, please feel free to let us know.
