OBJECT TRANSFER PRIORITIES IN A COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK

摘要

A method and a proxy server for adjusting or assigning object priorities for an object transfer are described. The adjustment or assignment can take place during three different phases, namely when a reference to that object is found in an HTML code (i.e. in a previous object) that is to be forwarded to the client, when a HTTP request relating to that object is issued by the browser running on the client, or when the corresponding HTTP response containing the requested object is received from the server.
