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 for efficiently transferring data between a client and a server includes the steps of: providing an application program; providing an application-independent client process effecting a plurality of client states; providing an application-independent server process effecting a plurality of server states; transferring data from the server process to the client process in response to an application program; and updating at least one client state in response to the transferred data. A related apparatus is also disclosed.

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.

A method and system for information processing and test case generation. The system includes: a pattern storage module for storing at least one resource identifier patterns, where the resource identifier patterns are extracted from a server code of a web application by analyzing the server code; a client code analyzer module for analyzing a client code generated from the server code and finding at least one event sequences matching with the resource identifier patterns; and a test case generator module for fetching a client state established from the client code, executing the event sequences on the client state, and generating a test case, where the test case includes a second resource identifier generated as an execution result of the event sequence.

The invention discloses a distributed network security control method of a public cloud service, belonging to the technical field of information. The method comprises the following steps of: receiving the authentication information of a user by a cloud security gateway, and after the user passes the authentication, inquiring a local client state on-line table by the cloud security gateway to generate a security policy; if the security policy of the user does not exist in the local client state on-line table, sending a client security apply to a security control center by the cloud security gateway; generating the security policy of the user by the security control center and then sending the security policy of the user to the cloud security gateway; and controlling the access of the user by the cloud security gateway according to the security policy of the user. The invention has the advantages that because the quantity of security policies required to be maintained by the cloud security gateway is small, the security performance is higher; because the system only needs to synchronize update results of the security policies onto the cloud security gateway requiring the security policy update results, the security policy management efficiency is higher; and the occupation of system resources by security policy management is reduced.

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.

The invention relates to a direct-broadcast flow transmission method and apparatus. The method comprises: a current state of a client is obtained; on the basis of the obtained current state of the client, statistics of a ratio of the number of clients in a freezing state to the total number of clients is carried out; when the ratio exceeds a first threshold value, a current code rate of a direct-broadcast flow is obtained; and when the current code rate is higher than a predetermined code rate threshold value, the client is notified to adjust a transmission strategy to improving the transmission capability and enhance a proportion of direct-broadcast flow data obtained by the client from a content distribution network (CDN) server to direct-broadcast flow data obtained by a point-to-point (P2P) data transmission mode. According to embodiments of the invention, the transmission strategy of the client is adjusted based on the direct-broadcast flow code rate and the client state, so that the service and bandwidth resources are saved and the direct broadcasting smoothness is guaranteed.
