SM_PROXYREQUEST HTTP Header for SiteMinder Processing with Secure Proxy Server

The Secure Proxy Server introduces a new layer in the traditional SiteMinder architecture. This layer forwards or redirects all requests to destination servers in the enterprise.

When the Secure Proxy Server processes a request, the URL requested by the user is preserved in an HTTP header variable called SM_PROXYREQUEST. This header may be used by other applications that require the original URL requested by a user before the Secure Proxy Server proxied the request.
