1. A method for preserving content, comprising:
- receiving a request having content originating from a non-authenticated client, wherein the request is a content-bearing and is issued from the client;
modifying the request and associating the content with the modified request, wherein the modified request is done to permit the content to be recaptured after the non-authenticated client is authenticated;
redirecting the non-authenticated client to an authentication service and including the modified request; and
receiving the modified request from an authenticated client, via a resubmit application transparently installed on the client, and reacquiring the content using the modified request from the client, wherein the content is available from the modified request and does not have to be re-supplied by a user associated with the client after successful authentication.

Abstract
Techniques are provided for preserving content during a network transaction. A client issues a content-bearing request to a desired service. At the time the request is issued, the client is not authenticated to the service. The content associated with the content-bearing request is preserved and associated with a modified request. The modified request and a redirection to an authentication service are sent to the client. The client authenticates and transparently sends the modified request. The modified request is used for reacquiring the content. The content-bearing request along with the content are sent to the desired service for processing.

issuing, from a client, a content-bearing request to a service, wherein the content-bearing request originates from the client and is directed to the service; receiving, at the client, a modified request and a redirection for authentication along with a directive to retain the content at the client, and wherein a resubmit application is also received on the client and is transparently installed on the client, and the resubmit application assists in redirecting to an authentication service and subsequent to the authentication automatically and transparently sends the modified request back to the service, wherein the modified request is done to permit the content to be recaptured after the non-authenticated client is authenticated; authenticating the client with the authentication service; and issuing from the client the modified request to the service, the modified request having the content so that the content does not have to again be re-supplied by a user associated with the client after successful authentication. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
