Abstract
A method and a device for acquiring an identifier of a data server able to deliver content to a terminal. The method is executed by the terminal, which transmits, to a resolution server of a communication architecture, a message requesting to obtain an identifier of the data server in the second domain. This request message triggers reception, from the resolution server, of an information message includes the identifier of the data server in a first domain. This message furthermore includes a delegation chain, which includes a sequence of redirections from the second domain to the first domain.
Claims15
A method for acquiring an identifier of a data server capable of delivering a content to a terminal, the method being executed by the terminal and comprising acts of:
- receiving, from a resolution server of a communication architecture, of an information message comprising the identifier of the data server in a first domain, and further comprising a delegation chain, including at least one redirection from a second domain to the first domain,
- triggering the receiving of the information message by transmitting to the resolution server, a message requesting to obtain an identifier of the data server in the second domain.
A method for associating a delegation chain with an information message comprising an identifier of a data server capable of delivering a content to a terminal, the method being executed by a resolution server of a communication architecture and comprising:
- receiving, from the terminal, a message requesting to obtain an identifier of the data server in a second domain,
- determining a delegation chain, comprising at least one redirection from the second domain to a first domain,
- transmitting an information message, to the terminal, comprising the identifier of the data server in the first domain, said information message further comprising the determined delegation chain.
A device for acquiring an identifier of a data server capable of delivering a content to a terminal, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon which when executed by the processor configure the device to:
- receive, from a resolution server a communication architecture, an information message comprising the identifier of the data server in a first domain, and further comprising a delegation chain, including at least one redirection from a second domain to the first domain, and
- transmit, to the resolution server, a message requesting to obtain an identifier of the data server in the second domain and trigger reception of the information message.
A device for associating a delegation chain with an information message comprising an identifier of a data server capable of delivering a content to a terminal, implemented in a communication architecture and comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon which when executed by the processor configure the device to:
- receive, from the terminal, a message requesting to obtain an identifier of the data server in a second domain,
- determine a delegation chain comprising at least one redirection from the second domain to a first domain, and
- transmit an information message to the terminal, said message comprising the identifier of the data server in the first domain, and further comprising the determined delegation chain.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions stored thereon which when executed by a processor of an acquisition device configure the acquisition device to acquire an identifier of a data server capable of delivering a content to a terminal, by:
- receiving, from a resolution server a communication architecture, an information message comprising the identifier of the data server in a first domain, and further comprising a delegation chain, including at least one redirection from a second domain to the first domain, and
- transmitting, to the resolution server, a message requesting to obtain an identifier of the data server in the second domain and trigger reception of the information message.
