ABSTRACT
In a bid to extend web browsers capabilities, a new extension that transfers HTTP session between two web browsers also knows as User Agents will be developed. The capabilities of these web browsers will be extended by integrating a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) stack into them. SIP has been chosen because it has clearly defined session mobility types namely Third-party Call Control and Session Hand-off. This paper identifies the modifications that will be made to the present-day web browsers architectures and describes the two services that can be provided namely content sharing and session transfer between any two user agents.

Recommendations
A SIP-based web client for HTTP session mobility and multimedia services
This work leverages Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) transportation and mobility mechanism to transfer session data between two Web browsers. In addition, a Web browser can now act as an adaptive User Agent Client to surf the Internet and make voice ...
Isolating web programs in modern browser architectures
EuroSys '09: Proceedings of the 4th ACM European conference on Computer systemsMany of today's web sites contain substantial amounts of client-side code, and consequently, they act more like programs than simple documents. This creates robustness and performance challenges for web browsers. To give users a robust and responsive ...
