ENTERPRISE CLIENT-SERVER SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING WEB APPLICATION SUPPORT THROUGH DISTRIBUTED EMULATION OF WEBSOCKET COMMUNICATIONS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system that enables service communications in distributed Web applications between servers otherwise inaccessible due to cross-origin security restrictions in pre-HTML5 compliant Web-browser clients.SOLUTION: A Web-browser client executes a Web application received from a source origin server 34 having a defined source origin and requests connections to identified Web-application services. Execution of an emulation client library establishes a bidirectional HTTP-based communications connection between the Web-browser client and a gateway server 42 having a target origin outside the scope of the source origin. The gateway server can establish an HTML5 compliant connection to a target defined service provided by a target server 36, 38 having a predefined relation to the request identified Web-application service.
