1. A method for emulating a connection-oriented session across a network between a client and a server, using a stateless communication protocol, comprising:
- maintaining a persistent proxy coupling with the server, andtransiently establishing a transient proxy coupling between a communication medium server and the persistent proxy coupling, the communication medium server being coupled to the network for passing communications packets back and forth with the client.

Abstract
A method for emulating a connection-oriented session across a network between a client and a server, using a stateless communication protocol, includes the steps of maintaining a persistent proxy coupling with the server, and transiently establishing a transient proxy coupling between a communication medium server and the persistent proxy coupling, the communication medium server being coupled to the network for passing communications packets back and forth with the client.

19. Apparatus for emulating a connection-oriented session across a network between a client and a server, using a stateless communication protocol, the connection-oriented session being mediated through a communication medium server, the communication medium server being coupled to the network for passing communications packets back and forth with the client, comprising:
-
a persistent proxy coupled to the server, and a transient proxy coupled between the communication medium server and the persistent proxy. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)

34. Apparatus for emulating a TCP session between a TCP client and a TCP server over a TCP/IP-compatible network connection through an HTTP server, comprising:
-
a transient proxy TCP socket application coupled to the HTTP server, the transient proxy TCP socket application closing substantially coincident with the transmission of data from the TCP server to the TCP client; and a persistent proxy TCP socket application coupled to the transient proxy TCP socket application, the persistent proxy TCP socket application coupled to the TCP server, the persistent proxy TCP socket application remaining active during the emulated TCP session with the TCP server. - View Dependent Claims (35, 36)

37. A storage device tangibly storing a control program, the control program, when coupled to a control device, operating the control device to emulate a connection-oriented session between a client and a server, using a stateless communication protocol over a network, the connection-oriented session being mediated through a communication medium server for passing communication packets back and forth with the client, the control program being configured to operate the control device to perform the function of:
-
maintaining a persistent proxy coupling with the server; and transiently establishing a transient proxy coupling between the communication medium server and the persistent proxy coupling. - View Dependent Claims (38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54)
