Abstract

A system including a first user agent configured to transmit request data corresponding to a requested web page, wherein the request data includes a request data header, and an optimization server configured to receive the request data, to determine whether the request header data matches a classification of a grouping that identifies cached content data, wherein the grouping is configured based on similarities between a first content data and a second content data; and to transmit the cached content data to the user based on the determination.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

receiving request data from a user agent, wherein the request data corresponds to a request for a web page and the request data includes request header data;

determining whether the request header data matches a classification of a grouping that identifies substantially similar content data; and

transmitting the cached content data to the user agent based on the determination.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the grouping is configured based on similarities between a cached content data and a response content data, wherein the response content data corresponds to the request data.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein transmitting the cached content data to the user agent when the request header data matches the grouping classification.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein transmitting the request data to a content server when the request header data does not match the grouping classification.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein determining whether the request header data matches a grouping classification includes determining whether the URL request header data matches a URL grouping classification.

6. The method of claim 4, further comprising determining whether additional request header data matches additional grouping classifications.

7. A method comprising:

configuring a content cache to include a grouping;

receiving response data from a content server in response to a user agent requesting a web page, wherein the response data includes a response data header and response content data that corresponds to the requested web page;

caching the content data based on the grouping, wherein the grouping identifies substantially similar content data; and

transmitting the response data to the user agent.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the grouping is configured based on similarities between a cached content data and a response content data, wherein the response content data corresponds to the request data.

9. A method comprising:

receiving response data from a content server in response to a user agent requesting a web page, wherein the response data includes a response data header and response content data that corresponds to the requested web page;

comparing cached content data with the response content data;

determining whether the cached content data substantially matches the response content data based on the comparison;

providing a grouping based on the determination, wherein the grouping identifies substantially similar content data; and

transmitting the response data to the user agent.

10. The system comprising

a first user agent configured to transmit request data corresponding to a requested web page, wherein the request data includes a request data header;

and

an optimization server configured to receive the request data, to determine whether the request header data matches a classification of a grouping that identifies substantially similar content data; and

to transmit the cached content data to the user based on the determination.

11. A method comprising:

receiving request header data;

determining whether the request header data matches a classification of a grouping that identifies substantially similar content data; and

providing the cached content data based on the determination.

12. A method comprising:

receiving response content data that corresponds to a request for a web page;

comparing cached content data with the response content data;

determining whether the cached content data substantially matches the response content data based on the comparison; and

providing a grouping based on the determination, wherein the grouping identifies substantially similar content data; and

caching the response content data, wherein the response content data can be provided to a user agent based on a subsequent request from the user agent.

13. A proxy web cache comprising:

means for receiving request header data;

means for determining whether the request header data matches a classification of a grouping that identifies cached content data, wherein the grouping is configured based on similarities between a first content data and a second content data; and

means for providing the cached content data based on the determination means.

14. A proxy web cache comprising:

means for receiving response content data that correspond to a response for a web page;

means for comparing cached content data with the response content data;

means for determining whether the cached content data substantially matches the response content data based on the comparison means; and

means for providing a new grouping based on the determination means, wherein the grouping is associated with the response content data; and

means for caching the response content data, wherein the response content data can be provided to a user agent based on a subsequent request from the user agent.
