Abstract

So-called push technology enables reception of new contents automatically, i.e. without user initiation. In order to enable a connecting party to send data when a receiving application is not even running, and thus cannot receive the data, middleware simulating the application to a connecting party, and an active connection to the application by utilizing buffers is provided. More precisely, the middleware is arranged to buffer incoming data on behalf of the application, if the application is not receiving the data, and to allow the application to receive the buffered data when the application is again willing to receive the data.
