1. A computer implemented method of processing a data string in a web page, comprising:
- mapping data string to a fixed-length string, wherein said fixed length string includes a unique identifier associating said data string with said web page;
replacing the data string in the web page with the fixed-length string;
maintaining a correlation between the fixed-length string and the data string such that the data string can be determined using the fixed-length string, wherein the correlation is memory-based with a table mapping the fixed length string to the data string, or function-based with a reversible hash correlating the fixed length string and the data string; and
transmitting the page with said fixed-length string.

11. A computer implemented method of converting meta-data in a web page to a fixed-length string, comprising:
-
converting a string of meta-data to a random fixed-length data string, wherein said fixed length string includes a unique identifier associating said string with said web page;
associating the string of meta-data with the fixed-length data string;
replacing the associated string of meta-data in the web page with the fixed-length data string;
maintaining a correlation between the fixed-length string and the metadata such that the data string can be determined using the fixed-length string, wherein the correlation is memory-based with a table mapping the fixed length string to the string of metadata, or function-based with a reversible hash correlating the fixed length string and the metadata; and
transmitting the page with said fixed-length string. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)

14. A method of processing a web page, including a string of meta-data transmitted on a network, comprising:
-
converting a string of meta-data to a fixed-length string, wherein said fixed length string includes a unique identifier associating said data string with said web page;
mapping said string meta-data to a fixed-length string;
maintaining a correlation between the fixed-length string and the string of meta-data such that the string of meta-data can be determined using the fixed-length string, wherein the correlation is memory-based with a table mapping the fixed length string to the string of meta-data, or function-based with a reversible hash correlating between the fixed length string and the string of meta-data; and
transmitting the fixed-length string with in place of the string of meta-data. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A computer implemented method of processing a web page comprising:
-
converting a URL on a first web page into a fixed-length string which is transmitted to a user, wherein said fixed length string includes a unique identifier associating said data string with said web page;
mapping said URL to a fixed-length string;
maintaining a correlation between the fixed-length string and the URL such that the URL can be determined using the fixed-length string, wherein the correlation is memory-based with a table mapping the fixed length string to the URL or function-based with a reversible hash correlating the fixed length string and the URL;
receiving a request from the user for information associated with the fixed-length string;
determining the URL from the fixed-length string; and
using the URL associated with the fixed-length string to find a second page to provide information to the user.
