Abstract
A client/server system for authoring an on-line service uses a server machine accessed a client machine which performs authoring operations on information stored on the server machine comprising the on-line service. Requests for authoring operations to be performed on information on the server machine, for authoring the online service, are translated on the client machine into at least one message which is sent to the server machine. The server machine receives the at least one message from the client machine and performs authoring operations identified in the received at least one message so as to author the online service. This information on the server machine is then made accessible by the server machine to other client systems that can be used to access the information without modifying the information, such as a browser. Generally, when the client machine receives a response message from the server machine, it displays information about performance of the authoring operation by the server, using the response message. The client and server may communicate using the HTTP protocol over a TCP/IP connection. The may also have different file name spaces, requiring the server to mai…
