Abstract:
1. A method for use with a computer system having an internet visible web server accessible to a web browser for sending response messages fulfilling calls from said web browser by sending back to said web browser an item requested in said calls, the method comprising: a. transmitting a received call from said Internet visible web server to an Gateway CGI (Gateway CGI), b. transferring, via said Gateway CGI, Internet visible Web server the call to an Gateway CGI program, c. extracting and packaging said call by said Gateway CGI program into an Encoded Request Package (ERP) with sufficient information to reconstruct the call, d. establishing, via said Gateway CGI, a socket to communicate with an instance of a second server (hereinaftter an ACM) in a secure part of said computer system, e. transmitting information embodied in the original request in said ERP to said ACM, f. reconstructing said call by said ACM, g. attempting to verify access privileges for said call, h. if access privileges are verified retrieving, by said ACM, said item requested by said call, i. forwarding said item to said Internet visible web server, j. sending said item to said Gateway CGI across said socket, k. serving said item in a message to said web browser from said Internet visible web server: wherein said establishing step “d.” occurs by first signaling from said Gateway CGI to a Daemon in said secure part of said computer system across an establishment socket to which said Daemon is attuned, establishing an instance of said ACM by said Daemon and attaching said ACM to a communications socket through which all further communication between said ACM and Gateway CGI shall occur, and occur, and port information is sent to said Gateway CGI from said Daemon to indicate on which port said ACM will communicate with said Gateway CGI.
