LOADING A RE-DIRECTED WEB RESOURCE ON A WEB BROWSER OF A CLIENT DEVICE IN A COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM

摘要

In an embodiment, a client device transmits a request for an initial web resource to a proxy server. The proxy server requests the initial web resource on behalf of the client device in response to the client device's request. The proxy server then executes a web resource redirection procedure (which involves one or more redirects) that is independent of interaction with the client device and results in the proxy server obtaining web resource content. The proxy server delivers the web resource content to a proxy client application on the client device along with instructions for simulating, on the client device, the web resource redirection procedure between the proxy client application and a mobile web browser on the client device. The proxy client application on the client device then simulates the web resource redirection procedure that occurred at the proxy server as instructed.
