Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for downloading files from a server to a client, the method comprising: sending, from a browser application at the client to the server, a request to download at least one file; receiving, by the client, a transmission from the server; parsing, by one or more processors at the client, the transmission from the server to identify a control command; parsing, by the one or more processors at the client, the control command to determine if the control command comprises a download command; in response to determining that the control command comprises a download command, parsing, by the one or more processors at the client, the transmission from the server to detect a download manifest that is associated with the download command and executable code included in the download manifest; and executing, by a background agent application at the client, the executable code to download the at least one file from the server, the background agent application being independent from the browser application.
