A method for accessing digitally protected web content, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a content handler computing device, a request from a user for the web content comprising a webpage from a digital protected web content server, wherein the received request comprises a request for a web page and a specific digital rights management protocol, and wherein a protocol handler for the specific digital rights management is searched and invoked;
- transmitting, by the content handler computing device, authentication data of the user and the request for the web content to an authentication server associated with the web content server, for verification of access rights of the user to access the requested web content wherein the user has selective access rights on the web content;
- and
- retrieving, by the content handler computing device, the requested web content and the verified selective access rights from the web content server when the selective access rights of the user for the requested web content are verified and forwarding the retrieved web content and the verified selective access rights to a web plugin installed on a web browser, wherein the retrieved web content is a portion of the webpage extracted from the requested web content based on the verified selective access rights, wherein the retrieved portion of the webpage is viewable to a user device via the web plugin on the web browser and a remaining portion of the requested web content is not viewable to the user device.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by one or more computing devices, cause at least one of the one or more computing devices to:
- request for a web content comprising a webpage from a digital protected web content server, wherein the received request comprises a request for a web page and a specific digital rights management protocol, and wherein a protocol handler for the specific digital rights management is searched and invoked;
- transmit authentication data of the user along with the request for the web content to an authentication server associated with the web content server, for verification of access rights of the user to access the requested web content wherein the user has selective access rights on the web content;
- and
- retrieving the requested web content and the verified selective access rights from the web content server when the selective access rights of the user for the requested web content are verified and forwarding the retrieved web content and the verified selective access rights to a web plugin installed on a web browser, wherein the retrieved web content is a portion of the webpage extracted from the requested web content based on the verified selective access rights, wherein the retrieved portion of the webpage is viewable to a user device via the web plugin on the web browser and a remaining portion of the requested web content is not viewable to the user device.
A content handler computing device comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory coupled to the processor which is configured to be capable of executing programmed instructions comprising and stored in the memory to:
- request a web content comprising a webpage from a digital protected web content server, wherein the received request comprises a request for a web page and a specific digital rights management protocol, and wherein a protocol handler for the specific digital rights management is searched and invoked;
- transmit authentication data of the user along with the request for the web content to an authentication server associated with the web content server, for verification of access rights of the user to access the requested web content wherein the user has selective access rights on the web content;
- and
- retrieve the requested web content and the verified selective access rights from the web content server when the selective access rights of the user for the requested web content are verified and forwarding the retrieved web content and the verified selective access rights to a web plugin installed on a web browser, wherein the retrieved web content is a portion of the webpage extracted from the requested web content based on the verified selective access rights, wherein the retrieved portion of the webpage is viewable to a user device via the web plugin on the web browser and a remaining portion of the requested web content is not viewable to the user device.
