Dynamic domain discovery and proxy configuration
A proxy server system implements dynamic domain discovery and proxy configuration. The proxy server system maintains proxy mapping data including a plurality of mappings, each mapping associating a domain and a proxy string. The proxy server system receives a request including a proxy link, generates a native link that includes a domain associated with the third-party network service, and obtains a resource including native content from the third-party network service. The proxy server system identifies, in the native content, a first embedded native link having a first domain associated with the third-party network service, determines that the proxy mapping data does not include any mapping corresponding to the first domain, generates a first mapping associating the first domain and a first proxy string, and updates the proxy mapping data to include the first mapping.
1 . A proxy server system comprising:
one or more processors;
a memory resource storing a set of instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
maintain proxy mapping data;
in response to receiving a request from a client device, obtain a resource including first native content from a third-party network service using a first native link;
identify, in the first native content, a first embedded native link having a first domain associated with the third-party network service;
search the proxy mapping data for a mapping corresponding to the first domain;
upon determining that the proxy mapping data does not include any mapping corresponding to the first domain, generate a first mapping including information to determine a first proxy string that is unique to the first domain; and
update the proxy mapping data to include the first mapping.
2 . The proxy server system of claim 1 , wherein the first mapping includes the first domain and the first proxy string.
3 . The proxy server system of claim 1 , wherein the first mapping indirectly associates the first domain and the first proxy string.
4 . The proxy server system of claim 1 , wherein the first mapping includes information to identify the first proxy string given the first domain.
5 . The proxy server system of claim 1 , wherein the first mapping includes information to identify the first domain given the first proxy string.
6 . The proxy server system of claim 1 , wherein the first mapping includes a reversible formula.
7 . The proxy server system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
generate, based on the first embedded native link and the first mapping, a first proxy link that includes the first proxy string and a domain associated with the proxy server system;
generate configured content based on the first native content, wherein the configured content includes the first proxy link in replacement of the first embedded native link; and
provide the configured content to a client device.
8 . The proxy server system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
identify, in the first native content, a second embedded native link having a second domain associated with the third-party network service;
determine that the proxy mapping data includes a second mapping including information to determine a second proxy string that is unique to the second domain; and
generate, based on the second embedded native link and the second mapping, a second proxy link that includes the second proxy string and a domain associated with the proxy server system.
9 . The proxy server system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
provide a link transformation service that:
(i) in response to a first transformation request that includes a submitted domain, obtains a first corresponding mapping from the proxy mapping data and provides a first transformation response that includes a proxy string of the first corresponding mapping; and
(ii) in response to a second transformation request that includes a submitted proxy string, obtains a second corresponding mapping from the proxy mapping data and provides a second transformation response that includes a domain of the second corresponding mapping.
10 . A method implemented by one or more processors of a network computer system, the method comprising:
maintaining proxy mapping data;
in response to receiving a request from a client device, obtaining a resource including first native content from a third-party network service using a first native link;
identifying, in the first native content, a first embedded native link having a first domain associated with the third-party network service;
searching proxy mapping data for a mapping corresponding to the first domain;
upon determining that the proxy mapping data does not include any mapping corresponding to the first domain, generate a first mapping including information to determine a first proxy string that is unique to the first domain; and
update the proxy mapping data to include the first mapping.
11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the first mapping includes the first domain and the first proxy string.
12 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the first mapping indirectly associates the first domain and the first proxy string.
13 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the first mapping includes information to identify the first proxy string given the first domain.
14 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the first mapping includes information to identify the first domain given the first proxy string.
15 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the first mapping includes a reversible formula.
16 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores instructions, which when executed by one or more processors of a computer system, cause the computer system to:
maintain proxy mapping data;
in response to receiving a request from a client device, obtain a resource including first native content from a third-party network service using a first native link;
identify, in the first native content, a first embedded native link having a first domain associated with the third-party network service;
search the proxy mapping data for a mapping corresponding to the first domain;
upon determining that the proxy mapping data does not include any mapping corresponding to the first domain, generate a first mapping including information to determine a first proxy string that is unique to the first domain; and
update the proxy mapping data to include the first mapping.
17 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the first mapping indirectly associates the first domain and the first proxy string.
18 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the first mapping includes information to identify the first proxy string given the first domain.
19 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the first mapping includes information to identify the first domain given the first proxy string.
20 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the first mapping includes a reversible formula.
