Image forming apparatus for being able to utilize application in which web browser is used

摘要

An image forming apparatus accesses a server that provides a Web application to enable Web application to be utilized. The image forming apparatus receives an instruction to utilize the Web application, and acquires a document expressing a Web page of the Web application in response to the received instruction. The image forming apparatus determines whether a previously-set fixed name is included in a URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) included in the acquired document. When it is determined that the fixed name is included in the URI, the image forming apparatus acquires data correlating to the URI from a predetermined location previously correlated to the fixed name. Using the acquired data, the image forming apparatus generates a display screen of the Web application based on the document.
