A method for preventing a browser timeout resulting from multiple requests sent from a client to a server is provided. In response to receiving a request from the client, an application thread is initialized on the server for submitting data to the client. The application thread is observed using a daemon observation thread. If a loading time of the application thread exceeds a timeout, the application thread is terminated. In response to terminating the application thread, an empty response is sent to the client. In response to receiving the empty response to the client, a determination is made whether to make an additional request to the server.

Prevention of browser timeout

Provided are techniques for state information sharing. At least one of user information and browser information is stored in a first configuration file in a first file format associated with a first browser application. A change in at least one of the user information and the browser information in the first configuration file is recognized. The changed at least one of the user information and the browser information in the first file format is converted to a second file format associated with a second browser application. A second configuration file is updated with the changed at least one of the user information and the browser information in the second file format. In response to starting the second browser application, a user and browser state is set using the user information and the browser information in the second configuration file.

User/browser state information sharing between browser applications

A method and system for monitoring calls being made from a cellular phone and preventing calls being made to unauthorized numbers, as defined by the owner of the cellular phone.
