Abstract:
1. In a computerized client device, a method of synchronizing settings with a remote server device, the method comprising: monitoring web-based messages exchanged between the computerized client device and the remote server device across a network; detecting a pre-defined pattern within a resource identifier (RI) field of a particular message of the monitored web-based messages exchanged between the computerized client device and the remote server device, wherein the RI field of the particular message includes both the pre-defined pattern and a received hash value; in response to detecting the pre-defined pattern within the RI field of the particular message, evaluating the particular message to determine whether a set of server settings has changed by: comparing the received hash value to a locally-stored hash value; and in response to the locally-stored hash value equaling the received hash value, determining that the particular message indicates that the set of server settings has not changed; otherwise, determining that the particular message indicates that the set of server settings has changed; and in response to determining that the set of server settings has changed, updating a local version of the set of server settings.
