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) system comprising:

establishing, by a streaming IFrame definition, a streaming HTTP connection between a client browser and a proxy server in response to data request from the client browser to one or more web servers connected to the proxy server;

scanning HTML of an IFrame application for one or more data update markers of HTML elements requiring real-time updates;

receiving continually at the client browser, over the streaming HTTP connection, the requested data included in a pushed streamed set of HTTP responses with a response size of the requested data set to a non-specified value from the proxy server;

wherein the streaming IFrame examines the pushed stream set of HTTP responses for data updates and modifies the HTML elements with latest data updates via DHTML; and

dynamically updating at the client browser the requested data corresponding to the one or more update markers for display in real-time without user refresh until the client browser is disconnected from the one or more web servers.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein one of the one or more web server is a World Wide Web server.

3. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of:

registering the requested data with a JavaScript function call.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the requested data is financial data.

5. A system comprising:

a client processor operatively configured for;

establishing, by a streaming IFrame definition, a streaming HTTP connection between a client browser and a proxy server in response to data request from the client browser to one or more web server connected to the proxy server;

scanning HTML of an IFrame application for one or more data update markers of HTML elements requiring real-time updates; and

receiving continually at the client browser, over the streaming HTTP connection, the requested data included in a pushed streamed set of HTTP responses with a response size of the requested data set to a non-specified value from the proxy server;

wherein the streaming IFrame examines the pushed stream set of HTTP responses for data updates and modifies the HTML elements with the latest data updates via DHTML; and

a client display operatively configured for dynamically updating the requested data corresponding to the update markers received by the client browser and displaying in real-time the requested data without user refresh until the client browser is disconnected from the one or more web server.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein one of the one or more web server is a World Wide Web server.

7. The method of claim 5 further comprising the step of:

registering the requested data with a JavaScript function call.

8. The system of claim 5 wherein requested data is financial data.
