Browser server session transfer

A system, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory storing computer executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
• create a browser server pool from a plurality of browser servers, wherein the browser server pool comprises a first browser server and a second browser server, wherein the first browser server comprises a first browser helper object and the second browser server comprises a second browser helper object, and wherein the first browser helper object is different from the second browser helper object;
• connect a client agent to a first active web browser session hosted by the first browser server, wherein the client agent communicates with the first browser server via a remote display protocol;
• determine whether the first active web browser session is to be transferred to the second browser server;
• and
• upon determining that the first active web browser session in the first browser server needs to be transferred to the second browser server:
• request a session context from the first active web browser session, wherein the first browser helper object on the first browser server accesses the session context from the first active web browser session, and transmits the session context to a broker service;
• receive, in response to the session context request, a serialized session context from the first active web browser session;
• launch a second web browser session hosted by the second browser server;
• initialize the second web browser session with the serialized session context from the first active web browser session, wherein the second browser helper object initializes the second web browser session based on the session context, and wherein the second web browser session is initialized in a state the same as the first web browser session;
• transfer the client agent from the first active web browser session to the second web browser session, while maintaining the session context from the first active web browser session in the second web browser session;
• in response to the transferring, connect the client agent to the second web browser session, wherein the client agent communicates with the second browser server via the remote display protocol;
• and
• terminate the first active web browser session.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a computer system comprising at least one processor, and least one memory, cause the computer system to perform a method comprising:

• creating a browser server pool from a plurality of browser servers, wherein the browser server pool comprises a first browser server and a second browser server, and wherein the first browser server comprises a first browser helper object and the second browser server comprises a second browser helper object, and wherein the first browser helper object is different from the second browser helper object;
• connecting a client agent to a first active web browser session hosted by the first browser server, wherein the client agent communicates with the second browser server via a remote display protocol;
• determining whether the first active web browser session is to be transferred to the second browser server;
• and
• upon determining that the first active web browser session is to be transferred to the second browser server:
• requesting a session context from the first active web browser session, wherein the first browser helper object on the first browser server accesses the session context from the first active web browser session, and transmits the session context to a broker service;
• receiving, in response to the session context request, the session context from the first active web browser session;
• launching a second web browser session hosted by the second browser server;
• initializing the second web browser session with the session context from the first active web browser session, wherein the second browser helper object initializes the second web browser session based on the session context, and wherein the second web browser session is initialized in a state the same as the first web browser session;
• transferring the client agent from the first active web browser session to the second web browser session, while maintaining the session context from the first active web browser session in the second web browser session;
• in response to the transferring, connecting the client agent to the second web browser session, wherein the client agent communicates with the second browser server via the remote display protocol;
• and
• terminating the first active web browser session.
