1. A method for providing file contents comprising:
- receiving, by an access control server, a request from a client node for a file having a native file type;
making, by the access control server, an access control decision to determine a level of access granted to the client node for the contents of the file;
transmitting, by the access control server responsive to the determined level of access, a second file to the client node, the second file executable by the client node and having a file type different from the native file type of the requested file;
establishing, via execution of the second file on the client node, a connection to an application server; and
presenting, by an application program executing on the application server, the contents of the file to the client node via the established connection.

The client node transmits a request for a file. The access control server receives the request for the file and makes an access control decision. An application server farm presents the contents of the file to the client node using an application program associated with a file type of the requested file.

37. A system for providing file contents comprising:
-
an access control server receiving a request from a client node for a file having a native file type, making an access control decision to determine a level of access granted to the client node for the contents of the file, and transmitting a second file to the client node responsive to the determined level of access, the second file executable by the client node and having a file type different from the native file type of the requested file, wherein a connection to an application server is established via execution of the second file on the client node; and an application program executing on the application server, presenting the contents of the file to the client node via the established connection. - View Dependent Claims (38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55)
