1. A system for embedding management data within HTTP messages, comprising:
- a network gateway computer storing a gateway communicator configured to communicate with at least one client computer, for receiving (i) a server-originated HTTP message intended for the at least one client computer from an HTTP server computer that communicates with the network gateway computer, and (ii) server-originated non-HTTP management data intended for the at least one client computer from a management server computer that communicates with the network gateway computer;
the network gateway computer storing a gateway data embedder configured to insert the server-originated non-HTTP management data within the server-originated HTTP message;
the at least one client computer storing a client data extractor configured to extract the server-originated non-HTTP management data from within the server-originated HTTP message;
the at least one client computer storing a client data embedder configured to insert client-originated non-HTTP management data within a client-originated HTTP message; and
the network gateway computer storing a gateway data extractor configured to extract the client-originated non-HTTP management data from the client-originated HTTP message; and
wherein the gateway communicator transmits the extracted client-originated non-HTTP management data to the management server computer.

Abstract
A system for embedding messages within HTTP streams, including a gateway communicator, situated within a network gateway computer that communicates with at least one client computer, for receiving management data intended for the at least one client computer from a management server computer that communicates with the network gateway computer, a gateway data embedder situated within the network gateway computer for inserting non-HTTP management data within an HTTP message, and a client data extractor situated within each of the at least one client computer for extracting non-HTTP management data from within an HTTP message. A method and a computer readable storage medium are also described and claimed.

4. A method for embedding management data within HTTP messages, comprising:
-
receiving server-originated non-HTTP management data from a management server computer intended for at least one client computer; inserting the server-originated non-HTTP management data within a server-originated HTTP message prior to the server-originated HTTP message being transmitted to the at least one client computer; extracting the server-originated non-HTTP management data from within the server-originated HTTP message subsequent to the server-originated HTTP message being received by the at least one client computer; receiving a client-originated HTTP message, the client-originated HTTP message having client-originated non-HTTP management data embedded therewithin; extracting the client-originated non-HTTP management data from the client-originated HTTP message; and transmitting the client-originated non-HTTP management data to the management server computer. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6)

7. A computer-readable storage medium storing program code for causing a computer system to perform the steps of:
-
receiving non-HTTP management data intended for at least one client computer; inserting the non-HTTP management data within an HTTP message prior to the HTTP message being transmitted to the at least one client computer; extracting the non-HTTP management data from within the HTTP message subsequent to the HTTP message being received by the at least one client computer; receiving a client-originated HTTP message, the client-originated HTTP message having client-originated non-HTTP management data embedded therewithin; extracting the client-originated non-HTTP management data from the client-originated HTTP message; and transmitting the client-originated non-HTTP management data to the management server computer.
