Abstract: A system and a method for accessing data objects provided through an OData service involve receiving, at an application server, a data access request from a client computing device. The data access request specifies in a platform-independent manner an access operation to be performed on a first data object. The application server translates the data access request into an OData compliant request. The OData compliant request is then transmitted to the OData service to perform the access operation.

Abstract: The disclosure is generally directed to systems and methods for HTTP header-based authentication. For example, the systems and methods include receiving, at a mobile platform server, a first request message from a client device, the first request message requesting to download an application from the mobile platform server, sending, to the client device, a first response message having a first authentication query within header portions of the first response message, receiving, at the mobile platform server, a second request message having first authentication credentials within header portions of the second request message, sending, to the client device, a second response message having a second authentication query within header portions of the second response message, receiving, at the mobile platform server first device, a third request message having second authentication credentials within header portions of the third request message, and sending, to the client device, the application.
