The method and the information processing system dynamically creates an HTML document with at least one embedded hyperlink code therein. The HTML document is based upon a source document provided by a manufacturer or a supplier of services. Typically, the system and the method is operable in a client-server computer environment. A database is provided on the server computer system which database associates location data of a plurality of data strings in the source document with hyperlink addresses. The location data in the database maps at least one predetermined data string in the source document. An HTML document, based upon the source document, is published with an image tag on, in or near the predetermined data string. As an example, the string may be a "part number" or a string of words "SONY PLAYSTATION II.". The published HTML document has an image tag on, at or near the part number and a map attribute command which supplies or generates an HTML location data unique to the image tag location in the HTML document when the browser calls the server's common gateway interface (CGI). The image tag URL points to the database on the server. The server, via the database provides a corresponding hyperlink address, associated with the unique location data correlated to the HTML location data, to the browser on the client computer system. The method and the system then publishes and embeds in the original or initial HTML document at, on or near the predetermined data string or part number an active hyperlink tag (an embedded code) with the corresponding hyperlink address obtained from the database.

A system and method for providing electronic inquiry, delivery, and reporting of personal credit information to and from credit bureaus, preferably via the Internet. In the preferred embodiment, the system includes a web site that, by using a web browser, allows clients to request credit information from, or provide credit reports to, credit bureaus by entering certain data on pre-built forms in HTML format. The data is encrypted using means for secure transmission, such as a web browser with 128-bit secure socket layer (SSL) technology, then sent to a common gateway interface (CGI) application located on a web server. The CGI application decrypts and reformats the data to a standard format specified by the credit bureau. The CGI application initiates a query. Using a dedicated connection circuit to the credit bureau's computer, the CGI application reformats the response from the credit bureau to an HTML format and encrypts the data using the means for secure transmission.

A method and system for gathering enriched web server activity data in a global communications network in which requested information files are cached at a plurality of network devices. With the prevalence of web caching on the Internet, the origin web servers do not serve the majority of requests for web site content. A single pixel clear Graphics Image Format (GIF) request is added to the HyperText Markup Language (HTML) source file for a web page. Appended to the GIF request is a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) string of data that contains enhanced web activity data information, including the number of images (“hits”) that have to be retrieved by a client browser to build the web page, and the referring identifier that resulted in access to the web page. The single pixel clear GIF request is not cacheable and results in the request being transmitted to the origin web server when the client browser interprets the HTML file. The enriched data is stored in log files at the origin web server to accumulate an accurate number of hits on the web page.

A system for reviewing files which permits comments to be inserted in files to be viewed with a hypertext browser. When the hypertext mark-up language employed is HTML, text files are converted to an HTML representation. An HTML file is represented by a linked list of objects. Comment insertion markers and comment display objects are inserted at predefined points in the HTML linked list representation. The linked list is stored as a binary file and has a comment file associated with it. Access to the HTML file by reviewers and authors causes the regeneration of the HTML document by a Common Gateway Interface which recreates the linked list representation of the document from the binary file and which then generates HTML code from the linked list. Comments may be entered by reviewers working in parallel on the HTML document. Comments are displayed as inserted at the next regeneration of the HTML document by the system.

The present invention relies on dynamic autoproxy configuration and more particularly to a method and system for selecting a Proxy / Socks Server according to some response time and availability criteria. It rests on a dynamic autoproxy mechanism using availability and response time probes. It relies on probes retrieving well known HTML pages through each Proxy / Socks Server, measuring associated response time, detecting Proxy / Socks failures and degradation of response time. It also uses a CGI (Common Gateway Interface) program for dynamically creating autoproxy code (in a preferred embodiment Javascript code) on an autoproxy URL (Universal resource locator) system for selecting said Proxy / Socks Server.

A system for secure access to information, e.g., images, data, etc., is utilized to provide additional security to users of a management portal.. The management portal may be configured to embed a common gateway interface ("CGI") link in a web page, e.g., HTML, extensible mark-up language ("XML"), at the end the conclusion of the management transaction. Subsequently, the web page with the embedded CGI link may be transmitted to the user. To access the stored information, the user may invoke the CGI link on the received web page. The CGI link may be configured to invoke an application, a security module, at a web server of the management portal e.g., CGI script, web application, etc., that may request a user name and / or authorization code from the user. The security module may be further configured to compare the requested information against a user configuration database of the management portal, where the user configuration may be constructed in XML code. The security module may be further configured to permit access to the secure storage area, and subsequently to the information stored therein, in response to a match of the requested information with the user configuration database. Otherwise, the security module may be further configured to inform the user of denied access to the secure storage area.

A method and system is provided which allows for integrating streaming content and a real time interactive dynamic user interface on a network, such as the Internet. The system includes a web browser for receiving a user interface from a content server.

Secure access to a wireless switch or other server node is provided through the use of a temporary key. The server initially receives a key request from a remotely-located client application that is formatted according to a first protocol such as the simple network management protocol (SNMP). In response to the key request, the server generates a temporary key that is provided to the client application and also stored at the server. After receiving the temporary key, the client application creates a service request that includes the temporary key. Examples of suitable protocols for the server request include the common gateway interface (CGI) and active server pages (ASP) formats. After receiving the service request, the server provides access to the network service if the temporary key in the service request matches the temporary key stored in the database, and otherwise does not provide access to the network service

An intrusion detection security system (IDSS) guards a server against vandals' attacks such as denial of service, distributed denial of service, and common gateway interface attacks. An incoming source address is compared with the contents of a database of privileged addresses. If the incoming address is present in the database, the IDSS instructs protective equipment such as a firewall or router to allow the incoming message to pass to the web server despite any ongoing attack, thus allowing messages from customers or suppliers, for example, through. Otherwise, the IDSS checks a database of blocked addresses. When the incoming address is absent, the IDSS writes the address to the database of blocked addresses and instructs the protective equipment to block subsequent messages from the incoming address.
