Methods and a preprocessing proxy server in a communication system can support any mode of web browser operation and enable a user selectively to bypass or enable the proxy server's translation of requested web content. For example, a translation selection decision can be made based on the requested content (e.g., active HTML) or user input. Selection is made between the original representation of a web page and a translated one, i.e., a representation that is adapted to one or more characteristics of the receiving device, such as a smaller screen, lower screen resolution, low communication bandwidth, etc. The decision on whether to translate is preferably made by a proxy server in the network, and the decision is based on one or more of the following criteria: requested-page content, user preferences, and statistics. An advantage of interposing a proxy server in this arrangement is that all web servers can remain unchanged. |
