System and device for enabling any network functionality client or server in a HTML5 application

A system comprising:

• a Network Entity comprising a processor running a HTML5 Application (NEHA) and connected to a computer network, a hardware HTTP server connected to the computer network, a network entity (NE) connected to the computer network, and a mirror network entity (MNE) connected to the computer network, wherein the MNE is a mirror instance of the NE and a desired network protocol is run on the computer network between the MNE and the NE;
• wherein the HTTP server is configured for receiving a first request for requesting the MNE from the NEHA, the first request comprising the desired network protocol, and configured for sending a first response indicating the MNE to the NEHA, wherein the desired network protocol is not supported by HTML5 and is one of Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP), Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) group protocols, or File Transfer Protocol (FTP);
• wherein the NEHA is configured for communicating with the NE through the MNE;
• and
• wherein the MNE is configured for communicating with the NE using the desired network protocol.

A method implemented by a Network Entity running as a HTML5 Application (NEHA), comprising:

• creating a first request for requesting a mirror network entity (MNE), wherein the MNE is a mirror instance of a network entity (NE) and a desired network protocol is run between the MNE and the NE, the first request indicates the desired network protocol, wherein the desired network protocol is not supported by HTML5 and is one of Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP), Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) group protocols, or File Transfer Protocol (FTP);
• sending the first request to an HTTP server;
• receiving a first response indicating the MNE from the HTTP server;
• processing the first response;
• and
• communicating with the NE through the MNE using the desired network protocol.
