Abstract

A system and method for dynamic updating of display windows using a pushed stream of data.

Claims

1. A method in a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) based system comprising a proxy server connected to more than one web servers and a client, the method comprising:

receiving at the proxy server a request from a client seeking financial data from the more than one web servers over a first HTTP connection between the proxy server and the client;

searching at the proxy server the more than one web servers to obtain the financial data according to the request;

returning from the proxy server to the client a definition for a streaming IFrame for establishing a second HTTP connection between the proxy server and the client;

establishing by the streaming IFrame the second HTTP connection between the proxy server and the client;

generating at the proxy server a pushed streamed set of HTTP responses including the financial data from the more than one web servers with a response size of the financial data set to a non-specified value; and

continually pushing over the second HTTP connection the financial data included in the pushed streamed set of HTTP responses from the proxy server to the client in response to the request and updating the financial data for presenting at the client in real-time without requiring user refresh at the client until the client is disconnected from the HTTP based system.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein at least one of the more than one web servers is a World Wide Web server.

3. The method of claim 1 further comprising registering the pushed streamed set of HTTP responses with a JavaScript function call.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the pushed streamed set of HTTP responses generated at the proxy server relates to securities market transaction data.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the pushed streamed set of HTTP responses including the financial data is formatted with one or more keywords marking one or more elements of the financial data for updating.
