Publication number: 20160337436Abstract: Methods and systems may provide for receiving a set of attributes that identify a pegged area of a page delivered to a user interface during a first browsing session and storing the set of attributes. Additionally, the set of attributes may be used to conduct a subsequent delivery of the pegged area to a user interface during a second browsing session, wherein the subsequent delivery of the pegged area excludes portions of the page that are outside the pegged area. In one example, the subsequent delivery is conducted further based on the type of client device participating in the second browsing session.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2016Publication date: November 17, 2016Inventors: Al Chakra, John A.

Publication number: 20160241568Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a method, a system, and a computer program product for validating a location resource, e.g., a hyperlink, embedded in a message for one or more recipients. The method includes receiving, by a computing node in a distributed computing environment and from a messaging application on a remote client computer, an identifier of a user profile and a location resource. The location resource is embedded in a message and that indicates a path to a computing resource outside of the remote client computer. The method also includes querying a repository in the distributed computing environment to obtain access permission information about the location resource. The method also includes determining, based upon the access permission information about the location resource, whether the user profile has access permission for the location resource.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 28, 2016Publication date: August 18, 2016Inventors: Trudy L.
