US Classification:

709330, 709311

Abstract:

A method is provided for use in distributing information (e. g. , World-Wide Web pages) using a computer. Based on a request (e. g. , a URL-based request) for the information, a remote function call (e. g. , an RPC call) is selected to direct to a source (e. g. , an application server) of the information. A predefined set of multiple requests (e. g. , for creating a âframesâ display) may include the request. Based on the request, a data object (e. g. , including a URL from the request) may be created, and the data object may be made available to the source of the information. The remote function call may be made across a function call bridge (e. g. , formed by RPC client and server software). Static or dynamic data may be provided. An operating system function may be invoked.

US Classification:

713200

Abstract:

Methods are provided for controlling access to information in a distributed computing system. A request for the information is received and is accompanied by encrypted session state data. Based on the encrypted session state data, it is determined whether to pass the request on to a source of the information. In a memory buffer, old data is replaced by overwriting with a unique identifier. After the memory buffer has received new data and a procedure has been executed for copying the contents of the memory buffer to a destination, it is determined whether the unique identifier may be found at the destination.
