Patent ID: 8127033

Claim:
A method for providing access to local computer system resources of a client device through a browser comprising: processing network traffic associated with a browser using a client network proxy coupled to the client device to identify at least one command parameter, wherein the at least one command parameter defines an operation requiring one or more local computer system resources of the client device that the browser does not have a sufficient access level to utilize wherein the at least one command parameter forms at least one embedded command; communicating the at least one command parameter for execution by the client network proxy using the one or more local computer system resources of the client device where the client network proxy has a sufficient access level to access the one or more local computer system resources of the client device; and authenticating the at least one embedded command by comparing a unique identifier associated with an embedded command of the at least one embedded command within inbound network traffic with a unique identifier associated with an embedded command of the at least one embedded command within outbound network traffic.
