Abstract

In a networked environment, debugging of a Web application executing on a Web server is automatically enabled using a single command button on a browser of a remote user. Initiation of debugging and control of the debugging process are achieved using a novel adaptation of the well-known cookie mechanism for storing client information and passing the information from the client to a server. In response to a click event, the client machine generates one or more cookies that contain information regarding the process to be debugged, the client machine itself, and optionally include additional control information. The cookies are transmitted to the server. A server-side process monitors data transmitted from the client. Responsively to recognition of the cookie, the debugging process attaches to the application being debugged and presents itself to the client.
