Debug Adapter for Server-Side JavaScript via HTTP

The patent introduces an HTTP-based intermediary layer between the debugging tool and the multithreaded system. Instead of using direct socket connections, the debug adapter communicates through HTTP requests and responses, which provides built-in security mechanisms and protocol standardization. This intermediary approach maintains debugging functionality while eliminating the security risks associated with direct socket connections in multithreaded environments.

The patent implements a universal HTTP-based debugging interface that can work across multithreaded systems. By using standard HTTP protocols and JSON formatting, the debug adapter becomes universally applicable to different multithreaded architectures without requiring system-specific socket connection implementations. This universal approach significantly reduces implementation difficulty while maintaining debugging capability.

The debug adapter serves as an intermediary that translates between different communication interfaces. It receives debugging requests from the debugging tool, converts them into appropriate HTTP requests for the web server or database, and translates responses back into debugging format. This intermediary layer maintains system modularity while simplifying cross-interface debugging by handling interface translation automatically.

The patent implements privilege checks as preliminary actions that are performed once during user authentication and session establishment. The system pre-determines which users have debugging privileges and stores this information in session data or authentication tokens. When debug requests are received, the system checks against pre-established privilege criteria rather than performing full authentication checks for each request, thereby maintaining security while minimizing processing time overhead.
