Estimating the term…
Mobile code, such as an applet, is permitted to create a network connection with a content server on a network, without restricting the applet only to connections from the computer from which it was downloaded. This is achieved in accordance with the principles of the present invention by using network restriction software in the execution engine or runtime system under which the applet executes. When the applet attempts to create a network connection to a content server, the network restriction software checks a name file on the content server for the presence of an entry whose name corresponds to the name of the computer from which the applet was downloaded. If such an entry is present, then the network restriction software permits the network connection between the applet and the content server to be created. If not, the applet may not create a network connection with the content server.
A method of creating a network connection between an applet executing on a client computer and a content server computer, the method comprising:
A computer program product comprising:
A computer data signal embodied in a carrier wave comprising a code segment for creating a network connection between an applet executing on a client computer and a content server computer, the code segment including instructions to:
A computer system for creating a network connection comprising:
A computer system for creating a network connection between an applet executing on a client computer and a content server computer, comprising:
