Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and software for providing enhanced reliability for information services. In an implementation, a method performed by a first data processing system is disclosed for operating a proxy service to support an information service provided by an application executed by a device remote to the first data processing system. The method comprises: registering the information service in association with an address unique to the information service; receiving information requests associated with the address via a data transmission network, wherein the information requests are sent from a second data processing system hosting an online service and remote from the first data processing system and the device; maintaining activity information indicative of whether any of the information requests were received while the application was in an unavailable state; and if the application has transitioned to an available state from a state different from the unavailable state, sending the activity information to the application.
