Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: creating, at each proxy of a split proxy pair which employs byte caching at each of the proxies, message queues for messages exchanged between each of the proxies in support of messaging application programming interface (MAPI) communications between a client and a server; setting sockets associated with each queue to listen for asynchronous communications between the client and the server; while the client is logged off from the server, fabricating, at one or more of the proxies that comprise the split proxy, one or more MAPI messages to the server to provoke responses from the server, wherein the one or more MAPI messages resemble messages which would otherwise be sent by the client if the client were logged on; and receiving, at a first one of the message queues at a first one of the proxies of the split proxy pair, a message associated with a remote procedure call (RPC) from the client to the server and processing the message associated with the RPC according to whether or not the first message queue is empty.
