A method, system and program product for operating a web imaging system for use
with a browser on an imaging client, comprising the steps of: receiving a request
from external web content for a reference to a resource; translating the request
to an imaging client specific command; creating an opaque reference that is mapped
to the imaging client specific command; and providing this opaque reference to
the web content, without supplying a reference to the resource or the imaging client
specific command to the web content.
