Abstract: Various embodiments of the invention provide methods, systems, and computer program products for generating a remote procedure call message configured to be transmitted from a first device over a communication network to a remote second device. In various embodiments, the remote procedure call message includes: (1) a command header field that comprises a first value indicating a command type; (2) a payload length header field that comprises a second value indicating an uncompressed size of a serialized representation of a command structure; (3) a payload compressed length header field that comprises a third value indicating a compressed size of the serialized representation of the command structure; (4) a checksum header field that comprises a fourth value configured to enable detection of corrupted data being received by the remote server device; and (5) a payload field that comprises the serialized representation of the command structure.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide computer program products, methods, and systems for extracting and revising data for a resource embedded in a dynamic-link library (DLL) assembly. In various embodiments, the DLL assembly is loaded and data for a resource is extracted from the assembly. In particular embodiments, a manifest is created that includes a path for the extracted data extracted. This path includes information on placing the data for the resource into the assembly to construct a necessary DLL structure compatible with the program application. After the extracted data has been edited to create replacement data, in various embodiments, the replacement data is imported into the assembly based on the path for the extracted data and the assembly is compiled to create a revised DLL that may be read by the program application in place of or in addition to the original DLL assembly to utilize the replacement data.
