Patent ID: 8225377

Claim:
A method of handling transactions in a communication network, said transactions comprising at least one technology-dependent request for a given content made by a requester to at least one server, comprising the steps of: making available an access content list comprising: permit/deny access clauses regulating access of said requester to contents provided by said at least one server, said at least one server being able to handle content requests independent of a specified technology used for delivering requested content; detecting said technology-dependent request after establishing a connection between the requester and the at least one server irrespective of said permit/deny access clauses; extracting from said technology-dependent request information identifying the requester making the request and the content requested; generating from the information extracted from said technology-dependent request a corresponding technology-independent access content entry; checking said entry against said list to derive permit/deny information concerning the request detected; and handling said request as a function of said permit/deny information derived.
