Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for page request management for aggregated page content. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for page request management for aggregated page content can include issuing on behalf of a user a request for dynamically aggregated components in a page. The method further can include inserting into a header of the request a key computed as a combination of identifiers for the aggregated components and last modified data for the aggregated components. Finally, the method can include receiving in response to the request a new page of dynamically aggregated components for the user only if the computed key does not match a key computed for the new page. Otherwise, only a response is received indicating that the page has not been modified.

Claims

1. A method for page request management for aggregated page content, the method comprising:

issuing on behalf of a user from a content browser executing in memory of a computer a request for dynamically aggregated components in a page;

inserting into a header of the request a key computed as a combination of identifiers for the aggregated components and last modified data for the aggregated components; and

,

receiving in response to the request a new page of dynamically aggregated components for the user only if the computed key does not match a key computed for the new page, but otherwise receiving only a response indicating that the page has not been modified.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising generating a hash of the computed key and inserting the hash into the header in lieu of the computed key.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein inserting into a header of the request a key computed as a combination of identifiers for the aggregated components and last modified data for the aggregated components, comprises inserting into a header of the request an entity tag comprising a key computed as a combination of identifiers for the aggregated components and last modified data for the aggregated components.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein inserting into a header of the request a key computed as a combination of identifiers for the aggregated components and last modified data for the aggregated components, comprises inserting into a header of the request a key computed as a combination of identifiers for those of the aggregated components deemed accessible to the user and last modified data for those of the aggregated components deemed accessible to the user.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein inserting into a header of the request a key computed as a combination of identifiers for the aggregated components and last modified data for the aggregated components, comprises inserting into a header of the request a key computed as a combination of identifiers for the aggregated components, last modified data for the aggregated components and a hierarchical path of each of the aggregated components.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein receiving in response to the request a new page of dynamically aggregated components for the user only if the computed key does not match a key computed for the new page, but otherwise receiving only a response indicating that the page has not been modified, comprises receiving in response to the request a new page of dynamically aggregated components for the user only if the computed key does not match a key computed for a cached form of the page, but otherwise receiving only a response indicating that the page has not been modified.
