Estimating the term…
A technique for creating client-server applications that permits the client component to be updated remotely, such as over a network or the like, and implementing the updating of a client portion of the application. The client is developed so that certain configurable components thereof may be effectively turned on or off by instructions contained in a bit string and to include parsing functionality for parsing an input bit string. Each configurable component corresponds to a different position in the bit string. When it is determined that the client is down level, the bit string which represents the current preferred client configuration is transmitted to the client. The client parses the bit string, and based on the instruction contained in the position of the bit string which corresponds to each configurable component of the client, turns that component on or off.
