A method for processing requests in a server side application, the method comprising: receiving a first request in a first communications protocol from a client; modifying the first request in a first communications protocol to create a communications protocol independent request, wherein the server side application modifies the first request in a first communications protocol into the communications protocol independent request comprising a table having key and value pairs corresponding to query parameters in the first request wherein said first request includes authentication data and cookies and wherein said communications protocol independent request is provided in a form interpretable by a server side application; generating a response by processing the communications protocol independent request; sending the generated response in the first communications protocol to the client; wherein said first request includes user input encoded in a Uniform Resource Locator (URL); and submitting said first request including the user input encoded in the URL in response to Common Gateway Interface (CGI) based source code included within the server side application.
