1. An Internet clipboard method for loosely coupling web services by intercepting resource download and upload actions for
a user in web interfaces to streamline information transfer from a source web service to a destination web service, comprising
the steps of:
intercepting a user's request on the user's computer with a local Internet clipboard proxy;
specifying, by the user, a dummy resource to the destination web service, wherein the dummy resource is not actually a resource
transferred and is configured to be any resource accessible by the user and recognizable by the local Internet clipboard proxy
as not actually a resource from transfer dialogue of the destination web service;
capturing information retrieved for the request; and
re-playing the information on an Internet clipboard server to facilitate trusted and secure transfer of the resource directly
from the source web service to the destination web service without having the resource to be intermediately transferred to
and from a client computer of the user.
