Extending web browsers architectures to support HTTP session mobility

Published: 10 December 2007 Publication History

Abstract

In a bid to extend web browsers capabilities, a new extension that transfers HTTP session between two web browsers also knows as User Agents will be developed. The capabilities of these web browsers will be extended by integrating a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) stack into them. SIP has been chosen because it has clearly defined session mobility types namely Third-party Call Control and Session Hand-off. This paper identifies the modifications that will be made to the present-day web browsers architectures and describes the two services that can be provided namely content sharing and session transfer between any two user agents.
