Patent ID: 6947979

Claim:
A method of controlling use of a network resource, comprising the computer-implemented steps of: capturing one or more request and response communications between a client and a server during a session of navigating the network resource; storing in electronic memory meta-information that represents the one or more request and response communications; automatically creating and storing an access and navigation script based on the meta-information, wherein the access and navigation script represents navigation actions performed during the session of navigating and includes a request to a server; modifying the access and navigation script to result in creating and storing a generalized script that, upon playback, can accept context specific request information at a predefined location in the generalized script, for association with the request to the server; receiving a request from a client for use of a function or resource of the network resource; in response to the request, accessing the generalized script; merging contemporaneous information that is specific to the client request into the generalized script at the predefined location to result in creating a context-specific request that includes a context-specific version of the request to the server; communicating the context-specific request to the network resource.
