Systems and methods for providing localized functionality in browser based postage transactions

A postal client device configured to perform postage indicia generation, the postal client device comprising:

• a memory storing an executable postal function script configured to perform postage indicia generation, wherein the executable postal function script comprises raw postal function data for generation of postage indicia, and wherein the executable postal function script is associated with a substantially unique resource identifier;
• and
• one or more processors configured to:
• generate a postage indicium, wherein generation of the postage indicia comprises:
• initiating a postage server call using the substantially unique resource identifier that redirects to the executable postal function script stored in the memory;
• and
• executing the executable postal function script to generate the postage indicium;
• and
• receive, if the raw postal function data corresponding to the executable postal function script becomes out of date, a replacement substantially unique resource identifier for an updated executable postal function script executable by the one or more processors to perform postage indicia generation, wherein the updated executable postal function script comprises updated raw postal function data useful for performing postage indicia generation and replaces the executable postal function script used to generate the postage indicium.

A method comprising:

• identifying, at a postage generation server system, a subset of raw postage rating data as useful to a remote postage client device using one or more postage rating script functional objects for creating postage indicia;
• converting, at the postage generation server system, the subset of raw postage rating data into the one or more postage rating script functional objects;
• sending, by the postage generation server system, the one or more postage rating script functional objects to the remote postage client device via a network, wherein the remote postage client device stores the one or more postage rating script functional objects for subsequent use during generation of postage indicia requests;
• receiving, at the postage generation server system, a postage indicium request created by the remote postage client device using a postage rating script functional object of the one or more postage rating script functional objects stored at the remote postage client device;
• determining, by the postage generation server system, whether the postage rating script functional object produced an erroneous postage indicium request;
• and
• sending an updated postage rating script functional object to said remote postage client device to replace the postage rating script functional object in response to a determination the postage rating script functional object produced an erroneous postage indicium request.

A method comprising:

• sending, by a postage generation server system, one or more postage rating script functional objects to a remote postage client device via a network, wherein the remote postage client device stores the one or more postage rating script functional objects for subsequent use during generation of postage indicia requests;
• generating a substantially unique identifier configured to redirect a server call to the postage generation server system to one of the one or more postage rating script functional objects stored by the postage client device;
• receiving, at the postage generation server system, a postage indicium request created by the remote postage client device using a postage rating script functional object of the one or more postage rating script functional objects stored at the remote postage client device;
• determining, by the postage generation server system, whether the postage rating script functional object produced an erroneous postage indicium request;
• and
• sending an updated postage rating script functional object to said remote postage client device to replace the postage rating script functional object in response to a determination the postage rating script functional object produced an erroneous postage indicium request.
