Method and system for management protocol-based data streaming
A method for performing data streaming using a management protocol. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving a request of contents of a file at a first system from a second system, the file is associated with the first system, reading contents of the file at the first system, in response to the request, and streaming the contents of the file to the second system, wherein the streaming of the contents is based on a management protocol.
1. A method comprising:
receiving a request for contents of a file included on a server;
reading the contents of the file at the server, in response to the request;
encrypting the contents of the file included on the server to generate an encrypted stream including the encrypted contents, the server operatively coupled to a client and to further include a management agent to provide the client access to the server via a management protocol, the client to further include an application, wherein the management protocol comprises a JAVA Management Extensions (JMX) protocol;
providing the encrypted stream to the management agent;
generating a management protocol-based stream of the contents capable of being transmitted from the server to the client; and
streaming the encrypted stream from the server to the client via the management agent to provide access to the contents of the file for the application of the client, the client to receive the encrypted stream as the management protocol-based streams.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
generating a zipped management protocol-based steam of the contents by zipping the contents; and
transmitting the zipped management protocol-based stream of the contents to the client.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the client further includes a management protocol stream module to
accept the encrypted stream from the server, and
combine the accepted stream with the management protocol to generate the management protocol-based stream.
4. A system comprising:
receiving a request for contents of a file included on a server;
reading the contents of the file at the server, in response to the request;
means for encrypting the contents of the file included on the server to generate an encrypted stream including the encrypted contents, the server operatively coupled to a client and to further include a management agent to provide the client access to the server via a management protocol, the client to further include an application, wherein the management protocol comprises a JAVA Management Extensions (JMX) protocol;
means for providing the encrypted stream to the management agent;
means for generating a management protocol-based stream of the contents capable of being transmitted from the server to the client; and
means for streaming the encrypted stream from the server to the client via the management agent to provide access to the contents of the file for the application of the client, the client to receive the encrypted stream as the management protocol-based stream.
5. The system of claim 4 , further comprising:
means for zipping the contents prior to generating a zipped management protocol-based steam of the content; and
means for transmitting the zipped management protocol-based stream of the contents to the client.
6. The system of claim 4 , wherein the client further includes a management protocol stream module to
accept the encrypted stream from the server, and
combine the accepted stream with the management protocol to generate the management protocol-based stream.
7. A machine-readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed by a machine, cause a machine to:
receive a request for contents of a file included on a server;
read the contents of the file at the server, in response to the request;
encrypt the contents of the file included on the server to generate an encrypted stream including the encrypted contents, the server operatively coupled to a client and to further include a management agent to provide the client access to the server via a management protocol, the client to further include an application, wherein the management protocol comprises a JAVA Management Extensions (JMX) protocol;
provide the encrypted stream to the management agent;
generate a management protocol-based stream of the contents capable of being transmitted from the server to the client; and
stream the encrypted stream from the server to the client via the management agent to provide access to the contents of the file for the application of the client, the client to receive the encrypted stream as the management protocol-based stream.
8. The machine-readable medium of claim 7 , which, when executed, cause the machine to:
zip the contents prior to generating a zipped management protocol-based steam of the contents; and
transmit the zipped management protocol-based stream of the contents to the client.
9. The machine-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the client further includes a management protocol stream module to
accept the encrypted stream from the server, and
combine the accepted stream with the management protocol to generate the management protocol-based stream.
