摘要

A method for communicating state information between a server and a mobile device browser with version handling includes: providing a control channel between the server and mobile device browser; transmitting at least one message from the mobile device browser to the server over the control channel indicative of browsing-related state data, wherein the at least one message includes an XML-encoded document and a protocol version value identifying a version of Document Type Definition (DTD) against which to validate the XML-encoded document; and regulating subsequent transmission of data from the server to the mobile device browser based on the at least one message.
