REDUCTION OF WEB PAGE LOAD TIME USING HTTP HEADER COMPRESSION

摘要

Methods and systems for reducing web page load time using HTTP header compression are provided. A method for reducing web page load time includes preloading HTTP header keywords into a compression dictionary. The method also includes compressing one or more fields in an HTTP header corresponding with a web page request using the compression dictionary. The method further includes transmitting the compressed HTTP header over a network. A system for reducing web page load time includes a compression dictionary preloaded with HTTP header keywords. The system also includes a header compressor to compress one or more fields in an HTTP header using the compression dictionary, and a transmitter to transmit the compressed HTTP header over a network.

1. A computing device-implemented method for reducing web page load time comprising:
preloading HTTP header keywords into a compression dictionary; compressing, with a computing device, one or more fields present in an HTTP header corresponding with a web page request using the compression dictionary, wherein the compressing comprises excluding one or more of the fields of the HTTP header, wherein the excluded fields of the HTTP header are not present in a resultant compressed HTTP header of the HTTP header, and wherein a first compression context is maintained for the compression of the HTTP header and a separate second compression context is maintained for a compression of data; and transmitting the compressed HTTP header over a network.
