A web server computer system includes a virus checker and mechanisms for checking e-mails and their attachments, downloaded files, and web sites for possible viruses. When an e-mail message contains a detected virus, the message is discarded, and both the sender and recipient are informed via e-mail that the message contained a virus. When an e-mail attachment contains a detected virus, the attachment is deleted, and the e-mail message without the attachment is sent to the web client, along with a message explaining that the e-mail message had an attachment that was automatically deleted because it had a virus. When a downloaded file contains a virus, the downloaded file is deleted, and an error message is sent to the web client to inform the web client that the requested file had a virus. When a requested web site (i.e., Uniform Resource Locator (or URL)) has been labeled as a source for a known virus, a message is sent to the web client stating that a virus may have been downloaded from that URL. In addition, if the requested URL has not been labeled as a source for a known virus, but it contains links that have been so labeled, the web page is processed before being sent to the user to identify those potentially dangerous links. In this manner a web server can perform virus checking of different types of information real-time as the information is requested by a web client. In addition, a web client may also request that the server perform virus checking on a particular drive on the web client. If this case, the web server may receive information from the web client drive, scan the information for viruses, and inform the web client whether any viruses were found. In the alternative, the web server may download a client virus checker to the web client and cause the client virus checker to be run on the web client. The preferred embodiments thus allow a virus checker on a web server to dynamically scan incoming data, and to scan web clients coupled to the web server, thereby eliminating the need for virus checking software to be installed on each web client.

A method and system for sharing content between web clients. Specifically, a client computes and transmits its displayed content and web client state to one or more other web clients, which display the content. This enables the web clients to share the exact displayed content, even in the presence of dynamic modifications of the content local to the client.

A data processing method includes, at a client device, retrieving client state information from a remote location associated with the client device and using the client state information for access of network locations. The data processing method further includes storing updated client state information at the remote location upon completion of the access of the network locations. The remote location forms a personal cookie repository where cookies may stored for subsequent use by any device of a user.

A client-server system may include a primary state of session data. One or more application servers may include client states of the session data and may be configured to access the primary state. The session data may include one or more attributes. The distributed store may lock the primary state for access by a process executing on one of the application servers. Information may be maintained on which attributes are mutably accessed by the process. An object graph comparison of the mutably accessed attributes and a benchmark version of the attributes may be performed to determine which of the mutably accessed attributes were actually modified. The modified attributes may be used to synchronize the primary state with the client state.

In a distributed information network, a broker server is coupled to a plurality of child servers and to a plurality of clients in the network. The broker server connects clients to a child server in a queue on a FIFO basis and provides the client with a key identifying the child server. The client provides the server with a copy of its key at the time of the initial service request. Both the child server and the client retain a copy of the other's key upon disconnect. The child server returns to the bottom of the queue after disconnect. On a subsequent client service request, the client includes the child server key in the service request and the broker automatically re-connects the client to the child server wherever S1 may be in the queue, provided the child server is not busy serving other clients. When reconnected, the client send its key to the child server which compares the key to the retained copy of the client key. If the keys match, the child server does not refresh and reload the client state data which improves server performance. If the child server is not available, the broker assigns the client to the child server at the top of the queue. The client may also be an intermediate server for other or first tier clients, in which case the intermediate server forwards the server keys to the first tier clients for service requests to the child server.

A method is disclosed for enabling stateless server-based pre-shared secrets. Based on a local key that is not known to a client, a server encrypts the client's state information. The client's state information may include, for example, the client's authentication credentials, the client's authorization characteristics, and a shared secret key that the client uses to derive session keys. By any of a variety of mechanisms, the encrypted client state information is provided to the client. The server may free memory that stored the client's state information. When the server needs the client's state information, the client sends, to the server, the encrypted state information that the client stored. The server decrypts the client state information using the local key. Because each client stores that client's own state information in encrypted form, the server does not need to store any client's state information permanently.

A client state object, such as a “cookie,” allows a server to save client state information on the client. This information is returned when the client requests information from the server. A server includes two identifiers—a primary name and an alternate name. Web pages on the server are modified so that links to server resources, such as files, that need client state information reference the primary name, while other links that do not need client state information reference the alternate name. In this manner, it does not matter which directory on the server is used to store files and files can be intermingled with one another regardless of whether the individual files use client state information. A method is provided for modifying existing web pages based on whether server resources addressed by the hyperlinks use client state information.

A request is received from a client for a web page hosted by a web server. Responsive to this request, a persistent client state object having an identifier therein is returned to the client. When a request is received from a client for elements of the web page hosted by the web server, the client is first required to return the persistent client state object having the identifier therein before the requested web page element is sent to the client.

The machine continues to initialize until it has reached a ready-state. The machine is then paused on the virtual machine host. A request for the virtual machine may then be received from a client. The machine is then resumed on the virtual machine host and a notification may be sent to the client stating that the machine is ready.

A fault tolerance method and system for VMs on a cluster identifies a client state for each client session for those applications. The method replicates the client session onto a primary and a backup VM, and uses a network controller and orchestrator to direct network traffic to the primary VM and to periodically replicate the state onto the backup VM. In case of a VM failure, the method reroutes network traffic of states for which the failed VM serves as a primary to the corresponding backup, and replicates states without a backup after the failure onto another VM to create new backups. The method may be used as part of a method or system implementing the split / merge paradigm.

Response delay associated with a state-based client-server application can be reduced with utilization of an application state server-side cache. A server caches data for a set of one or more possible states of a client-server application that may follow a current state of the application. The server rapidly responds to a client request with data that corresponds to an appropriate new state of the application in accordance with the application state server-side cache. The server determines that the application will transition to the appropriate new state from the current state of the application with the application state server-side cache based, at least in part, on an operation indicated by the client request.

The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for load balancing for services. Embodiments of the invention facilitate load balancing between instances of a service based on affinitization of messages, based on content of the message. For example, messages in the same session can be dispatched to the same service instance. A sequence or series of related messages associated with long running and / or stateful services are more likely to be dispatched to the same instance of the service. Thus, if the service instance has persisted client state, there is an increased likely of utilizing the persisted client state and not having another service instance recreate the client state.
