System and method for multipart response optimization
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A communication system optimized for multipart responses, the communication system comprising:
- a client adapted to request content from the communication system, the request for content including an indicator that a multipart response is desired;
a proxy coupled to receive the request for content and adapted to access the communication system for the requested content; and
a server coupled to the proxy to provide the requested content, wherein the proxy is adapted to provide a single part response to the client, the single part response including an indicator to signal a subsequent multipart response that is related to the single part response.

Abstract
A system and method for optimizing multipart responses within a server-client protocol through additional header information provided to signal a multipart response. A server determines whether a multipart response is applicable and generates a single part response having multipart indication to signal the client that a multipart response will follow. The client may then submit a subsequent request for the multipart response by providing an expectation within a request header.

6. A method for multipart response optimization, comprising:
-
generating a first request for content, the first request including a multipart response expectation indicator;
generating a first response to the first request for content, the first response including a multipart response capability;
generating a second request for content; and
generating a second response to the second request for content, wherein the second response includes a format that is indicative of the multipart response capability indicator. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A mobile terminal wirelessly coupled to a network which includes a proxy coupled to the network, the mobile terminal comprising:
-
a memory capable of storing at least a multipart header module;
a processor coupled to the memory and configured by the multipart header module to generate content requests having a multipart response expectation indicator; and
a transceiver configured to facilitate a content response exchange with the proxy, wherein the multipart header module is further configured to search the content response for a multipart capability indicator. - View Dependent Claims (12)

13. A computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon which are executable by a mobile terminal for requesting optimized multipart response handling in a network by performing steps comprising:
-
supplying a multipart expectation indicator in a content request;
receiving a content response to the content request;
examining the content response for a multipart capability indication; and
precluding transmission of parallel content requests when the multipart capability indication exists within the content response.

14. A proxy coupled to a network to detect multipart content requests, the proxy comprising:
-
means for receiving a first content request;
means for determining the existence of a multipart response expectation indicator in the first content request;
means for generating a single part response in response to the existence of the multipart response expectation indicator in the first content request; and
means for generating a multipart response after a second content request is received, the multipart response being related to the single part response.

15. A computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon which are executable by a proxy by performing steps comprising:
-
receiving a first content request;
determining the existence of a multipart response expectation indicator in the first content request;
generating a single part response in response to the existence of the multipart response expectation indicator in the first content request; and
generating a multipart response after a second content request is received, the multipart response being related to the single part response.
