1. A method of efficiently processing requests from a client system to a remotely located server system through a communications network, the method comprising the steps of:

  • (a) generating a request by a standard browser component included in the client system to be forwarded to the server system, the request containing a standard URL having a resource name field containing a predetermined field coded to specify a session context value for indicating the type of session connection to be initiated by the client system through the communications network for transferring the request to the server system;

    (b) maintaining a table structure within a transaction protocol gateway (TPG) component included in the client system located between the browser component and the communications network for storing session connection information for identifying each persistent connection established by the gateway component;

    (c) mapping the URL of each input connection request by the gateway component that is received from the browser component to an established persistent session connection when specified by the session context value; and

    , (d) the gateway component transferring each request made by the browser component during a session that contains the mapped URL to the server system over the communications network using the established persistent session connection in lieu of opening a new session connection thereby minimizing network traffic.
