SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING THE CONNECTION BETWEEN A SERVER AND A CLIENT NODE

摘要

A connection manager which provides communications control in a server of a server client system permits a client node to establish rudimentary communications with a designated server port and then moves the connection to a communications port specific to the application running on the server. The specific communications port is then configured by the communications manager with the protocol drivers required by the client node. An application may be displayed in an HTML page. In one embodiment, the same data can be transmittal substantially simultaneously from an application executing on a server node to at least two client nodes. A server node in a client-server system may download and executes application written in interpretive languages on behalf of associated client nodes.
