Abstract

In a client-server architecture, a semi-persistent connection between the client and the server allows delayed or asynchronous transmission of a cookie or token. Delayed or asynchronous transmission of the cookie allows initial web page generation and display while awaiting a slow cookie, such as a cryptographically generated cookie that might be used for single-session sign-on.

Claims

1. A method for providing information to a client browser, the method comprising:

sending a first request from a client to a server;

responsive to the first request, initiating a request to create a token;

responsive to the first request, sending information from the server to the client, the information including at least display data and a first link corresponding to the token;

rendering the display data in a browser of the client;

sending a second request from the client to the first link;

determining whether the token is created; and

if the token is created, sending the token to the client.

2. A method according to claim 1, further comprising:

starting a timer after initiating the request to create a token.

3. A method according to claim 2, further comprising:

if the token is not yet created, comparing the timer to a predetermined value.

4. A method according to claim 3, further comprising:

if the timer exceeds the predetermined value, sending a second link to the client, the second link corresponding to the token.

5. Computer executable software code transmitted as an information signal, the code for providing information to a client browser, the code comprising:

code to send a first request from a client to a server;

responsive to the first request, code to initiate a request to create a token;

responsive to the first request, code to send information from the server to the client, the information including at least display data and a first link corresponding to the token;

code to render the display data in a browser of the client;

code to send a second request from the client to the first link;

code to determine whether the token is created; and

if the token is created, code to send the token to the client.

6. A computer readable medium having computer executable code stored thereon, the code for providing information to a client browser, the code comprising:

code to send a first request from a client to a server;

responsive to the first request, code to initiate a request to create a token;

responsive to the first request, code to send information from the server to the client, the information including at least display data and a first link corresponding to the token;

code to render the display data in a browser of the client;

code to send a second request from the client to the first link;

code to determine whether the token is created; and

if the token is created, code to send the token to the client.

7. A programmed computer for providing information to a client browser, comprising:

a memory having at least one region for storing computer executable program code; and

a processor for executing the program code stored in the memory, wherein the program code comprises;

code for providing information to a client browser, the code comprising;

code to send a first request from a client to a server;

responsive to the first request, code to initiate a request to create a token;

responsive to the first request, code to send information from the server to the client, the information including at least display data and a first link corresponding to the token;

code to render the display data in a browser of the client;

code to send a second request from the client to the first link;

code to determine whether the token is created; and

if the token is created, code to send the token to the client.
