<p>A server (2) for replacing data transmission request expressions in a client/server data processing environment comprises a communication unit (3) for receiving a data transmission request expression (DTRE), for example a short URL, from a client (1) and for transmitting data, for example content data of a web-site, to the client (1), a replacing unit (4) for reading a replacement data transmission request expression (R-DTRE), for example a long URL, from a replacement table unit (5) and for replacing the received data transmission request expression with the read replacement data transmission request expression, and a retrieving unit (6) for retrieving the data, for example content data of a web-site, associated with the replacement data transmission request expression, for example a long URL. Thereby, a client which is not capable of handling long URLs but may only handle short URLs is enabled to access data uniquely identified by a long URL. <IMAGE></p> |
