Abstract
When it is determined that a resource corresponding to the identifier is accessible, the resource may then be accessed. When the resource is not accessible, then it may be determined whether an expected date/time range indicating when identifier may exist can be retrieved. When a date/time range cannot be retrieved, then it may be determined whether an expected date/time range may be generated from the identifier. If so, then a date/time range for the identifier may be generated. When the date/time range cannot be generated, then at least a start time may be provided to determine existence of a resource corresponding to the identifier. When a date/time range is retrieved, generated, or provided then a delay interval to check for existence of a resource corresponding to the identifier may be determined. It may then be determined whether to determine whether there a resource corresponding to the identifier may exist. If so, then it may be determined whether the current date/time is within the date/time range of identifier to make the determination as to whether the resource corresponding to the identifier exists. When the current date/time is within the date/time range and it is determined that a resource corresponding to the identifier is accessible, the resource may then be accessed.
