Abstract
A method for automating web access captures web requests submitted by a user on a client to a web server. The web requests are filtered and stored on the web server. The filtered web requests are recorded in a log file on the web server. The log file is sent to the client. The client submits the filtered web requests from the log file to the web server. The web responses in response to the submitted filtered web requests are received and stored on the client as a reference file.
Claims16
A method for automating web access comprising:
- parsing web requests from a user intro attributes;
- and
- recording said attributes in a log file on a web server.
A method for storing web requests from a client comprising:
- receiving web requests;
- filtering said web requests;
- and
- storing said filtered web requests in a log file.
A method for storing web responses from a web server comprising:
- submitting web requests contained in a log file;
- receiving web responses based on said web requests;
- and
- storing said web responses in a reference file,
- wherein said log file includes filtered web requests previously received by the web server,
- wherein said reference file serves as a reference for web responses from the web server.
An web server comprising:
- an engine;
- a filter coupled to said engine;
- and
- a file coupled to said filter,
- wherein said filter parses web requests received by said engine;
- and
- wherein said file stores said parsed web requests.
A client comprising:
- a browser;
- a first file coupled to said browser;
- a second file coupled to said browser,
- wherein said first file includes filtered web requests previously received by a web server,
- wherein said second file includes web responses in response to said filtered web requests.
A program storage device readable by a machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions readable by the machine to perform a method for automating web access, the method comprising:
- filtering web requests from a user;
- and
- recording said filtered web requests in a log file on a web server.
A program storage device readable by a machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions readable by the machine to perform a method for storing web requests from a client, the method comprising:
- receiving web requests;

A program storage device readable by a machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions readable by the machine to perform a method for storing web responses from a web server, the method comprising:
- submitting web requests contained in a log file;
- receiving web responses based on said web requests;
- and
- storing said web responses in a reference file,
- wherein said log file includes filtered web requests previously received by the web server,
- wherein said reference file serves as a reference for web responses from the web server.
An apparatus for automating web access comprising:
- means for filtering web requests from a user;
- and
- means for recording said filtered web requests in a log file on a web server.
An apparatus for storing web requests from a client comprising:
- means for receiving web requests;
- means for filtering said web requests;
- and
- means for storing said filtered web requests in a log file.
An apparatus for storing web responses from a web server comprising:
- means for submitting web requests contained in a log file;
- means for receiving web responses based on said web requests;
- and
- means for storing said web responses in a reference file,
- wherein said log file includes filtered web requests previously received by the web server,
