Abstract: Various implementations are described herein for detecting and modifying security settings on a computing device to run a web application using a web browser. A loader application detects security settings on the computing device, determines if the security settings will allow the web application to run and function correctly on the computing device, and if necessary, modifies the security settings to allow the web application to run and operate successfully. Further, described herein are techniques for facilitating communication between components corresponding to a web application running in a web browser and external resources.

Abstract: A method includes executing a web script by a browser element to access a web service executing on a web server and providing access to a web application, subscribing to the web service by the browser element so that data will be sent from the web service without requiring the browser element to initiate a request for the data, receiving the data from the web service by a communicator module executing on the client computing device, and sending the data to the browser element by the communicator module. A system includes a browser having at least one browser element configured to subscribe to data from an external web service.

Abstract: Techniques for configuring direct communicating between browser elements running in a browser and for direct communication between a browser element and an external application are described. Browser elements communicate with each other by referencing unique identifiers associated with the browser elements. External applications communicate directly with browser elements by referencing unique identifiers associated with the browser elements. Browser elements are configurable as web services and communicate using various communication architectures and protocols. Application programming interfaces associated with browser elements configured as web services are accessible to web browsers through web scripting modules.

Abstract: Various implementations are described herein for using instant messenger services to administer devices. Both devices and administrators have corresponding client instant messenger services that enable administrators to configure the devices, update firmware and/or software applications running on the devices, control the devices, facilitate communication between the devices and resources such as technicians, web services and so forth. Further, devices are also able to initiate communication with administrators and/or resources to request configuration, updates to firmware and/or software applications running on the devices, troubleshooting services from technicians, send alerts and so forth.
