  • Inspecting web browser state information from a synchronously-invoked service
    Patent number: 7860927
    Abstract: The present invention provides a browser-independent method to inspect the state of any Web Browser from a service that has been invoked synchronously. The remote agent responds to the service request with instructions for the browser to synchronously and recursively invoke another service request with a specific portion of the browser state as the arguments. This allows the browser to continue operating in a synchronous manner, while appearing to behave like a multi-threaded application that is responsive to state inspection requests.
