Abstract:
1. A method for coordinating submission of network resource data across a first network to a network resource located on a second network, the second network being coupled to the first network by a firewall such that the second network has a higher level of trust than that of the first network, the method comprising the steps of: receiving and storing in a storage the network resource data submitted by a network terminal coupled to the first network, the network resource data containing a network resource identifier for associating the network resource data with the network resource; receiving and storing in the storage control data associated with the network resource data, the control data coordinating one or more actions on the network resource data by the polling server prior to release of the network resource data by the polling server to produce processed network resource data, the processed network resource data for consumption by the network resource; receiving a first poll message from the second network through the firewall to the first network as initiated by a polling server located on the second network, the first poll message requesting any network resource data containing the network resource identifier, retrieving the network resource data from the storage matching the network resource identifier and forwarding the network resource data to the polling server in response to the first poll message; and receiving a second poll message from the second network through the firewall to the first network as initiated by the polling server, the second poll message requesting any control data associated with the network resource data, retrieving the control data from the storage matching the network resource data and forwarding the control data to the polling server in response to the second poll message distributing the network resource data, by using an enterprise server located on the second network between the polling server and the network resource, once released, to the network resource, wherein the enterprise server is a print server, the network resource data is print data, and the network resource is a printer.
