Conducting client-server inter-process communication

1. A method for conducting client-server inter-process communications, comprising:

initiating an inter-process communication thread of a client that is separate from a main inter-process communication thread of said client, wherein said inter-process communication thread of said client that is separate from said main inter-process communication thread of said client establishes a connection with a server;

as a part of said inter-process communication thread of said client that is separate from said main inter-process communication thread of said client, creating a client communication port during the establishment of said connection with said server and before the establishment of said connection is completed, and

transmitting one or more non-blocking asynchronous communications to a server communication port and awaiting responses to said one or more non-blocking asynchronous communications for receipt by said client communication port;

wherein subsequent to said establishment of said connection with said server said server responds to messages transmitted to it from said client by transmitting messages to said client communication port;

wherein said inter-process communication thread that is separate from said main client process thread is ended after said connection is established.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein a client port identification number is transmitted to said server during said establishment of said connection with said server.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein said one or more non-blocking asynchronous communications timeout after a predetermined period.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein an immediate response to a server request for information terminates said server request for information.

5. A non-transitory computer useable medium having computer-executable instructions for performing steps, comprising:

a communication thread triggering component for triggering an inter-process communication thread of a client that is separate from a main inter-process communication thread of said client, wherein said inter-process communication thread of said client that is separate from said main inter-process communication thread of said client establishes a connection with a server;

a communication port creating component for creating as a part of said inter-process communication thread of said client that is separate from said main inter-process communication thread of said client, a client communication port during the establishment of said connection with said server and before the establishment of said connection is completed, and

an asynchronous communications transmitter for transmitting one or more non-blocking asynchronous communications to a server communication port and awaiting responses to said one or more non-blocking asynchronous communications for receipt by said client communication port;

wherein subsequent to said establishment of said connection with said server said server responds to messages transmitted to it from said client by transmitting messages to said client communication port;

wherein said inter-process communication thread that is separate from said main client process thread is ended after said connection is established.

6. The medium of claim 5 wherein a client port identification number is transmitted to said server during said establishment of said connection with said server.

7. The medium of claim 5 wherein said one or more non-blocking asynchronous communications will timeout after a predetermined period.

8. The medium of claim 5 wherein an immediate response to a server request for information terminates said server request for information.

9. An apparatus, comprising:

a computer readable memory unit;

a processor coupled to said memory unit, said processor for executing a method for conducting client-server inter-process communications, comprising:

initiating an inter-process communication thread of a client that is separate from a main inter-process communication thread of said client, wherein said inter-process communication thread of said client that is separate from said main inter-process communication thread of said client establishes a connection with a server;

as a part of said inter-process communication thread of said client that is separate from said main inter-process communication thread of said client, creating a client communication port during the establishment of said connection with said server and before the establishment of said connection is completed, and

transmitting one or more non-blocking asynchronous communications to a server communication port and awaiting responses to said one or more non-blocking asynchronous communications for receipt by said client communication port;

wherein subsequent to said establishment of said connection with said server said server responds to messages transmitted to it from said client by transmitting messages to said client communication port;

wherein said inter-process communication thread that is separate from said main client process thread is ended after said connection is established.

10. The apparatus of claim 9 wherein a client port identification number is transmitted to said server during said establishment of said connection with said server.

11. The apparatus of claim 9 wherein said one or more non-blocking asynchronous communications timeout after a predetermined period.

12. The apparatus of claim 9 wherein an immediate response to a server request for information terminates said server request for information.
