  • Patent number: 10652227
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for impersonating target user accounts via account redirection. In one aspect, a request may be received at a service issued from a temporary account of the service accessed by a client application. It may be determined whether the temporary account is stored in a mapping table comprising one or more temporary accounts mapped to a corresponding impersonation token. When it is determined that the temporary account is stored in the mapping table, the corresponding impersonation token mapped to the temporary account may be identified. The request may be processed in an impersonation mode based on the identified impersonation token.

  • Patent number: 10192177
    Abstract: An example system for debugging transformed code includes a computer processor and computer memory including instructions that cause the computer processor to receive an error corresponding to a transformed code from a production service. The instructions also cause the processor to correlate the error to a symbol generated for the transformed code. The instructions further cause the processor to query a repository storing a source code corresponding to the transformed code using the symbol. The instructions also further cause the processor to assign the error to a developer based on a version history of the source code in the repository.

  • Patent number: 8954386
    Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for editing a remotely stored image. A user can browse to a site comprising the image, and a preview (e.g., lightweight) version of the image can be loaded to a canvas component of the browser. One or more edits can be applied locally to the preview image, comprising one or more transformation. The one or more transformations can be recorded, and an edited version of the preview image, comprising the one or more image transformations, can be rendered in the canvas component. Once the user commits to one or more transformations, a request can be sent to a remote server comprising the image, to remotely edit the image, where the request comprises one or more delta changes that indicate the one or more committed image transformations, as opposed to requiring multiple bandwidth intensive transfers of the entire image.

  • Publication number: 20140372507
    Abstract: An original script program includes code that configures an application to gather error information when a script error occurs, and to transmit this error information to a server computer. Thus, if the script causes an exception to be thrown when processed by the application, data describing the exception is sent to the server computer. The exception data is accessed by a diagnostic tool to identify the error in the original script program. Such data can be collected from multiple applications on multiple client computers after a resource with a compressed script program is made available on a server computer. Using a mapping between tokens in the compressed script program and the original script program, the diagnostic tool relates each error in the compressed script to locations within the original script program.
