META-DATA BASED METHOD FOR LOCAL CACHE UTILIZATION
First Claim
1. A method to be performed by a client proxy in communication with a client, the method comprising:
- receiving previous response data from a server proxy in communication with a server, the previous response data sent to the client proxy by the server proxy in response to a previous request for a resource;
generating previous client proxy meta-data based on the previous response data, and storing the previous client proxy meta-data and the previous response data in a client proxy cache; and
responsive to receiving a new request for the resource from the client;
creating a modified request by modifying the new request to include one or more elements of the previous client proxy meta-data; and
sending the modified request instead of the new request to the server proxy.

Abstract
Meta-data is generated by a client proxy based on previous response data received from a server proxy in response to a previous request for a resource. A client in communication with the client proxy makes a new request for the resource. The client proxy creates a modified request by modifying the new request to include one or more elements of the meta-data, and sends the modified request instead of the new request to the server proxy. The server proxy compares the one or more elements to corresponding one or more elements of meta-data stored in a server proxy cache. If all compared elements match, the server proxy instructs the client proxy to deliver response data stored in a client proxy cache to the client. If any of the compared elements does not match, the server proxy sends new response data to the client proxy for delivery to the client.

9. A method to be performed by a server proxy in communication with a server, the method comprising:
-
receiving a request for a resource from a client proxy, the request including one or more elements of client proxy meta-data; and responsive to receiving the request; comparing the one or more elements of client proxy meta-data to corresponding one or more elements of server proxy meta-data stored in a server proxy cache; if all compared elements match, sending the client proxy an instruction to deliver response data stored in a client proxy cache to a client; and if any of the compared elements does not match, sending new response data to the client proxy for delivery to the client. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by a processor to implement a client proxy, result in:
-
receiving previous response data from a server proxy in communication with a server, the previous response data sent to the client proxy by the server proxy in response to a previous request for a resource; generating previous client proxy meta-data based on the previous response data, and storing the previous client proxy meta-data and the previous response data in a client proxy cache; and responsive to receiving a new request for the resource from a client in communication with the client proxy; creating a modified request by modifying the new request to include one or more elements of the previous client proxy meta-data; and sending the modified request instead of the new request to the server proxy. - View Dependent Claims (19)

20. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by a processor to implement a server proxy, result in:
-
receiving a request for a resource from a client proxy, the request including one or more elements of client proxy meta-data; and responsive to receiving the request; comparing the one or more elements of client proxy meta-data to corresponding one or more elements of server proxy meta-data stored in a server proxy cache; if all compared elements match, sending the client proxy an instruction to deliver response data stored in a client proxy cache to a client; and if any of the compared elements do not match, sending new response data to the client proxy for delivery to the client.
