Abstract
A method for providing local access to managed content is disclosed. The method comprises receiving from a remote host a request to perform an operation with respect to content associated with a set of managed content and obtaining information required to respond to the request. The method further comprises providing in response to the request a content locator usable to perform the requested operation through direct communication with a content system through which the content is accessible.
Claims20
A method for providing access to managed content, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a content management system executing on a processor, a request from a remote system to read or write content managed by the content management system;
- determining, by the content management system from a list of candidate locations having a particular relationship with the remote system or closer in distance to the remote system than the content management system, a local content system that is associated with the candidate locations and that is available for access, wherein the local content system and the remote system operate on a first network, wherein the content management system operates on a second network, wherein the local content system is managed by the content management system;
- and
- sending, by the content management system to the remote system, a response comprising information usable for the remote system to access the local content system managed by the content management system, the information including a content locator corresponding to the local content system, wherein the remote system accesses the local content systems using the content locator to read or write the content managed by the content management system directly with the local content system.
A content management system for providing access to managed content, the content management system comprising:
- a processor;
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium;
- and
- stored instructions translatable by the processor for:
- receiving a request from a remote system to read or write content managed by the content management system;
- determining, from a list of candidate locations having a particular relationship with the remote system or closer in distance to the remote system than the content management system, a local content system that is associated with the candidate locations and that is available for access, wherein the local content system and the remote system operate on a first network, wherein the content management system operates on a second network, wherein the local content system is managed by the content management system;
- and
- sending, to the remote system, a response comprising information usable for the remote system to access the local content system managed by the content management system, the information including a content locator corresponding to the local content system, wherein the remote system accesses the local content systems using the content locator to read or write the content managed by the content management system directly with the local content system.
A computer program product for providing access to managed content, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions translatable by a processor of a content management system for:
- receiving a request from a remote system to read or write content managed by the content management system;
- determining, from a list of candidate locations having a particular relationship with the remote system or closer in distance to the remote system than the content management system, a local content system that is associated with the candidate locations and that is available for access, wherein the local content system and the remote system operate on a first network, wherein the content management system operates on a second network, wherein the local content system is managed by the content management system;
- and
- sending, to the remote system, a response comprising information usable for the remote system to access the local content system managed by the content management system, the information including a content locator corresponding to the local content system, wherein the remote system accesses the local content systems using the content locator to read or write the content managed by the content management system directly with the local content system.
