LEVERAGING WEB COOKIES FOR CARRYING MESSAGES ACROSS CLOUD APPLICATION COMMUNICATIONS

Embodiments described herein leverage web cookies to carry messages across cloud application communications, wherein the messages are between entities that are not part of the cloud application itself. For example, in embodiments, a proxy server is interconnected between a client computer that is executing a front-end component of an application and an application server that is executing a back-end component of the application. The proxy server intercepts a request from the front-end component that is intended for the back-end component and generates a response thereto that includes a command to create a web cookie at the client computer, wherein the web cookie includes data to be utilized by a custom code component of the client computer. The proxy server may further cause the custom code component to be injected into the front-end component of the application for execution by the client computer.
