1. A method for downloading a hyper text transfer protocol (HTTP) web page over a satellite link that couples a satellite modem to a satellite gateway, the method comprising steps of:

  • opening a transmission control protocol (TCP) link between the satellite gateway and the satellite modem;

    receiving a HTTP uniform resource identifier (URI) at the satellite modem from a web browser, wherein;

    the HTTP URI corresponds to the HTTP web page of an origin server, and the opening step is performed before the receiving step;

    sending the HTTP URI to the satellite gateway over the TCP link;

    determining an Internet protocol (IP) address for a domain name indicated in the HTTP URI by the satellite gateway;

    retrieving the HTTP web page, wherein;

    the retrieving step is caused by the sending step, and the HTTP web page comprises a plurality of embedded URIs;

    transmitting the HTTP web page to the satellite modem;

    sending at least five of the plurality of embedded URIs to the satellite gateway over the TCP link, wherein the at least five correspond to five objects; and

    transmitting the five objects to the satellite modem, wherein the satellite gateway has the at least five, but none of the five objects have been completely transmitted.
