Abstract

A mobile device supports a mobile server hosting an HTML web site. The mobile device has an identifier and receives dynamically updated IP addresses from a network connected through a firewall to the Internet. The mobile device reports received updates of the IP address to an HTTP server in the network that interfaces with the Internet. The HTTP server updates a redirect address record associating the identifier of the mobile device with the reported IP address. The HTTP server receives, from a web browser in the Internet, an HTTP request having the identifier of the mobile device. The HTTP server, using the redirect address record, redirects the web browser to the mobile device. The web browser sends an HTTP request directly to the mobile device.
