PAGE VIEWS FOR PROXY SERVERS

摘要

A page view field is included in an HTTP request that contains a requested URL and indicates the URL for the web page or other document from which the requested URL was obtained (either directly or indirectly). A browser may add the page view field to an HTTP request whenever the requested URL is obtained from within a web page or other document displayed in browser. This field may be used by a proxy or other server to perform processing related to a number of applications. The processing may relate to access controls, e.g., parentally controlled accounts. For example, the applications may include the reporting of URLs visited by parentally controlled accounts; or allowing parentally controlled accounts to access lower level web pages of web pages the account has been given permission to access. Also, the processing may relate to accurately tracking frequently requested resources such as web pages.
