  • Patent number: 11025750
    Abstract: An accessed indicator is encoded in a uniform resource locator (URL) of a first request message, for a first action, to determine if a first request is for a native behavior that provides client-side platform specific actions implemented by the client device that has client-side resources instead of a server in communication with the client device. The first request message represents the first request to access the native behavior. The first action is implemented using a client-side resource of the client device without transmitting the first request from the client device to the server that the first request was originally destined for. A second request message with a second request specifying a second action is intercepted. It is determined that the second action cannot be performed by any of the client-side resources of the client device. The second request specifying the second action is transmitted from the client device to the server.
