8. A method of managing content configured to for downloading from a remote computer, the method comprising:
-
reading a unique identifier, the unique identifier identifying content chosen for caching according to at least one characteristic of the content;
comparing the unique identifier to a list of unique identifiers; and
if the list holds the unique identifier, retrieving the content identified by the unique identifier from a cache. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A method for identifying transmitted content appropriate for caching, the method comprising:
-
designating the content with regard to at least one characteristic; and
obtaining a unique identifier for identifying the content as having the characteristic, wherein;
the content is one of a plurality of types of content on a template, the template configured to present the content types via a communication channel; and
the designating the content permits a receiving machine to either one of caching of the content identified as having the characteristic and avoiding of caching of the content identified as having the characteristic.

22. A system comprising:
-
a processor;
a memory coupled to the processor;
an instruction set operable with the processor to compare a unique identifier with a list of unique identifiers in the memory to determine whether content identified as having at least one static characteristic is stored in the memory;
a transmitter responsive to the determination of the instruction set, the transmitting device configured to send a request for the content with the static characteristic when the memory lacks the unique identifier;
a receiver coupled to receive the content; and
the memory coupled to the receiver wherein the memory stores the content with the static characteristic and stores the unique identifier in the memory. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26)
