Abstract
The functionality of Web clients (e.g. browser) is enhanced using a WebFilter Manager (WFM) that allows i) easy integration of individual WebFilters operating on ingoing or outgoing messages between the browser and web servers, ii) arbitrary and dynamic ordering of WebFilters operating on a message stream, iii) splitting, combining, modifying and processing of message streams by WebFilters. The same methodology can also be applied in any client server environment for extending the functionality of the client or server.
