Remote portlet consumer with enhanced resource url processing

Abstract

The present invention is directed to a method and system to be performed by a WSRP consumer portal server for accessing a remote network resource addressed by a respective resource URL in a web portal infrastructure comprising at least a WSRP Consumer Portal connectable to a client Browser requesting the remote network resource, and a remote communication partner.

1 . A method to be performed by a client browser for accessing a remote network resource addressed by a respective resource URL in a web portal infrastructure comprising at least: a WSRP consumer portal connectable to a client browser requesting said remote network resource, the consumer portal being a middleware framework separate from the client browser and from a source of resources that aggregates the resources from a plurality of sources before presentation to the client browser, and a remote communication partner hosting said remote network resource, of the method comprising: 
       in response to a pre-sent client request for a web page, receiving, from the consumer portal, a response comprising a newly assembled web page and a code fragment executable by said client; and
 invoking, by the client, said code fragment to select a specific URL out of a set of URLs which directly accesses an original instance of a remote resource without needing an interaction of the WSRP consumer portal. 
 
     
     
         2 . The method according to  claim 1  further comprising the steps of:
 receiving a response from the consumer portal, the response comprising a rewritten URL and an added executable code fragment which comprises functionality to select a best weighted URL; and 
 
       executing, by the client, said executable code fragment for sending a request with best weighted URL.
