Information processing apparatus, system, information processing method, and program

A communication apparatus configured to communicate, via a relay server, with an information processing apparatus, the communication apparatus comprising:

• a memory device that stores a set of instructions;
• and
• at least one processor that executes the set of instructions to:
• get, from the relay server via a second firewall, information including a first request by the information processing apparatus to a web server in the communication apparatus;
• acquire the first request from the got information;
• generate a response in accordance with Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) to the first request by the information processing apparatus;
• generate a fourth request to the relay server in accordance with HTTP, the fourth request including the generated response to the first request;
• and
• transmit, to the relay server via the second firewall, the generated fourth request for storing, in the relay server, the generated response to the first request by the information processing apparatus, wherein the generated response to the first request is got by the information processing apparatus from the relay server via a first firewall.

A system comprising:

• an information processing apparatus;
• a communication apparatus;
• and
• a relay server,
• wherein the information processing apparatus comprising:
• a memory device that stores a set of instructions;
• and
• at least one processor that executes the set of instructions to:
• generate a first request to a web server in the communication apparatus in accordance with Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP);
• generate a second request to the relay server in accordance with HTTP, the second request including the generated first request;
• transmit, to the relay server via a first firewall, the generated second request for storing the first request in the relay server;
• transmit, to the relay server via the first firewall, a third request for getting a first response to the first request stored in the relay server, the first response to the first request being transmitted by the communication apparatus to the relay server via a second firewall;
• and
• acquire the first response to the first request included in a second response to the third request;
• and
• wherein the communication apparatus comprising:
• a memory device that stores a set of instructions;
• and
• at least one processor that executes the set of instructions to:
• get, from the relay server via the second firewall, information including the first request by the information processing apparatus to the web server in the communication apparatus;
• acquire the first request from the got information;
• generate the first response in accordance with Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) to the first request by the information processing apparatus;
• generate a fourth request to the relay server in accordance with HTTP, the fourth request including the generated first response to the first request;
• and
• transmit, to the relay server via the second firewall, the generated fourth request for storing, in the relay server, the generated first response to the first request by the information processing apparatus.

An information processing method performed by an information processing apparatus configured to communicate, via a relay server, with a communication apparatus including a web server, the method comprising:

• generating a first request to the web server in the communication apparatus in accordance with Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP);
• generating a second request to the relay server in accordance with HTTP, the second request including the generated first request;
• transmitting, to the relay server via a first firewall, the generated second request for storing the first request in the relay server;
• transmitting, to the relay server via the first firewall, a third request for getting a first response to the first request stored in the relay server, the first response to the first request being transmitted by the communication apparatus to the relay server via a second firewall;
• and
• acquiring the first response to the first request included in a second response to the third request.

A communication method performed by a communication apparatus configured to communicate, via a relay server, with an information processing apparatus, the method comprising:

• getting, from the relay server via a second firewall, information including a first request by the information processing apparatus to a web server in the communication apparatus;
• acquiring the first request from the got information;
• generating a response in accordance with Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) to the first request by the information processing apparatus;
• generating a fourth request to the relay server in accordance with HTTP, the fourth request including the generated response to the first request;
• and
• transmitting, to the relay server via the second firewall, the generated fourth request for storing, in the relay server, the generated response to the first request by the information processing apparatus, wherein the generated response to the first request is got by the information processing apparatus from the relay server via a first firewall.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program for causing a processor to execute a method of controlling an information processing apparatus configured to communicate, via a relay server, with a communication apparatus including a web server, the method comprising:

• generating a first request to the web server in the communication apparatus in accordance with Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP);
• generating a second request to the relay server in accordance with HTTP, the second request including the generated first request;
• transmitting, to the relay server via a first firewall, the generated second request for storing the first request in the relay server;
• transmitting, to the relay server via the first firewall, a third request for getting a first response to the first request stored in the relay server, the first response to the first request being transmitted by the communication apparatus to the relay server via a second firewall;
• and
• acquiring the first response to the first request included in a second response to the third request.
