US Patent 10230720 Authorization code flow for in-browser applications

A system receives a request from an in-browser application for an authorization code, creates a session that re-directs the in-browser application to an authorization server, and receives the authorization code from the authorization server by way of the in-browser application. The system requests an access token from the authorization server and receives the access token from the authorization server. The system then receives a request from the in-browser application for a resource, uses the access token to request the resource from a third-party resource server, and returns the resource to the in-browser application.
