DYNAMICALLY INTERACTING WITH AN INTERNET SERVICE USING A CLIENT-SPECIFIED COMMUNICATION PROXY AND PROTOCOL

A method is provided for clients to locate and interact with Internet services fulfilling the clients needs. In an aspect, a client requests, to a broker, a specific language/component technology (communication proxy), and an application-level transport protocol. The broker matches a client request and an Internet service, and transmits metadata to the client enabling the client to locate the matched internet service communication proxy. In an aspect, the client downloads the requested communication proxy and dynamically interacts, at runtime, with an Internet service using the requested communication proxy, the communication proxy being local to the client. In an aspect, the client is relieved from having to develop a remote communications code.
