All user requests and responses are proxied (as in the image :ref:`image-reverse-proxy`) and therefore can have content and headers modified. Also, due to it's architecture, Colab can grant or deny access to systems under it. .. _image-reverse-proxy: .. figure:: static/colab-basics.jpg :width: 400 px :align: center *Colab Reverse Proxy model* Plugins are used in order to integrate new Web applications.
