Abstract: A system for accessing a packet-switching network (4), which is adapted for the use of a simplified signature method. The system includes a supplementary server (60) which is independent of a proxy server (50) of an access provider (12) and a simplified signature module (66) which is provided in the supplementary server (60). The proxy server (50) is equipped with an interface (64) which enables the connection of the proxy server to the supplementary server (60) and the transmission of at least the authentication requests sent by contacted service providers to the supplementary server (60) in order for the requests to be processed by the simplified signature module (66).

Abstract: A redirection request interception method includes: a step (E10) of receiving an HTTP response sent to a user station; a step (E30) of obtaining a redirection address contained in that response; a step (E40) of creating and a step (E50) of sending a substitution request to that redirection address; a step (E60) of receiving the response to that substitution request; and a step (E70) of transmitting that response to the user station.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system for accessing a packet-switching network (4), which is adapted for the use of a simplified signature method. The inventive system comprises a supplementary server (60) which is independent of a proxy server (50) of an access provider (12) and a simplified signature module (60) which is provided in the supplementary server (60). The proxy server (50) is equipped with an interface (64) which enables the connection of said proxy server to the supplementary server (60) and the transmission of at least the authentication requests sent by contacted service providers to the supplementary server (60) in order for said requests to be processed by the simplified signature module (60).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and system for supplying an automatic web content translation service. More specifically, the invention relates to a method of supplying translations of documents which are distributed by content providers (4) to numerous user terminals (11, 12, 13) by means of a data transmission network (1).

Abstract: In this method of sharing personal attributes of a user between several on-line services providers, a Proxy server of an Internet access provider spliced into the flow between the terminal and the world wide web, intercepts an attributes request addressed to a user terminal and redirects it automatically to a personal attributes provider selection module. The Internet access provider is the one that dynamically assigned an Internet address to the terminal so that it can browse the world wide web.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for distinguishing an HTTP request sent over a telecommunications network from a client device equipped with a browser to a Web server, characterised in that the HTTP request is marked when said request is sent explicitly by the user. Thus, the invention makes it possible to distinguish between explicit user requests and implicit browser requests for the purpose of operating in the network.
