1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

  • sending a request to a server, the server being chosen from a list of servers, the list being maintained by the client;

    receiving a response to the request from the server; and

    , upon determining that the response comprises an error message that the server is off-line, automatically repeating the sending of the request to a next server of the list until the error message is not received, wherein the error message that the server is off-line is received even though the server is on-line, such that the error message is a false error message, which the server sends to the client upon determining that the server is inappropriate to fulfill the request, wherein the client is a non-delegable client that does not understand a delegation of the request to another server.
