摘要： A client/server system for authoring an on-line service uses a server machine accessed a client machine which performs authoring operations on information stored on the server machine comprising the on-line service. Requests for authoring operations to be performed on information on the server machine, for authoring the online service, are translated on the client machine into at least one message which is sent to the server machine. The server machine receives the at least one message from the client machine and performs authoring operations identified in the received at least one message so as to author the online service. This information on the server machine is then made accessible by the server machine to other client systems that can be used to access the information without modifying the information, such as a browser. Generally, when the client machine receives a response message from the server machine, it displays information about performance of the authoring operation by the server, using the response message. The client and server may communicate using the HTTP protocol over a TCP/IP connection. The may also have different file name spaces, requiring the server to maintain and perform mapping between identifiers used by the client and those used on the server. The server may have a server program for processing HTTP messages and a server extension program for processing authoring operations. This extension program can be called via the common gateway interface. The authoring operations to be performed can include storing, creating or modifying information, such as documents and scripts and meta-information about services, documents and scripts on the server. Also, operations for providing a listing of services and documents are also available.

摘要翻译： 用于创作在线服务的客户端/服务器系统使用访问客户端机器的服务器机器，该客户端机器对存储在包括在线服务的服务器机器上的信息执行创作操作。 对在服务器机器上的信息进行创作操作的请求，用于创建在线服务，在客户机上被翻译成至少一个发送到服务器机器的消息。 服务器机器从客户端机器接收至少一个消息，并执行在所接收的至少一个消息中标识的创作操作，以便创作在线服务。 服务器机器上的这些信息随后可以由服务器机器访问到可以用于访问信息而不修改信息的其他客户端系统，如浏览器。 通常，当客户端机器从服务器机器接收到响应消息时，使用响应消息来显示关于服务器的创作操作的性能的信息。 客户端和服务器可以通过TCP / IP连接使用HTTP协议进行通信。 也可能有不同的文件名称空间，要求服务器维护和执行客户端使用的标识符与服务器上使用的标识符之间的映射。 服务器可能具有用于处理HTTP消息的服务器程序和用于处理创作操作的服务器扩展程序。 该扩展程序可以通过通用网关接口进行调用。 要执行的创作操作可以包括在服务器上存储，创建或修改关于服务，文档和脚本的信息，例如文档和脚本以及元信息。 此外，还提供了提供服务和文档列表的操作。
