Method for accessing a content item in a cloud storage system, and a corresponding cloud broker, cloud cache agent and client application

摘要

In a cloud storage system (103), an editable version of each content item is stored in a cloud data store (132) and one or more HTML versions of content items are stored in a cloud cache store (133). In order to access a content item, a client application (111) sends a request (141) to a cloud broker (102), specifying a user action that is either "view" or "edit". In case the user action is "edit", the cloud broker (102) sends a request (142) for retrieving the editable version of the content item from the cloud data store (132). In case the user action is "view", the cloud broker (102) sends a request (144) for obtaining a URL to one of the HTML versions of the content item to a cloud cache agent (131).
