Abstract
An automated banking machine (12) is operative to conduct transactions in response to HTML documents and TCP/IP messages exchanged with a local computer system (14) through an intranet (16), as well as in response to messages exchanged with foreign servers (20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 96) in a wide area network (18). The banking machine includes a computer (34) having an HTML document handling portion (76, 80, 82). The HTML document handling portion is operative to communicate through a proxy server (88), with a home HTTP server (90) in the intranet or the foreign servers in the wide area network. The computer further includes a device application portion (84) which interfaces with the HTML document handling portion and dispatches messages to operate devices (36) in the automated banking machine. The devices include a sheet dispenser mechanism (42) which dispenses currency as well as other transaction devices.

8. A method comprising:
-
(a) operating an automated banking machine including a computer to test whether at least one HTTP record can be downloaded from a server, wherein the test includes an attempt to partially download the at least one HTTP record from the server without fully downloading the at least one HTTP record; (b) operating the machine to receive a result of the test; (c) responsive to step (b), operating the machine to determine that the HTTP record can be fully downloaded from the server; (d) subsequent to step (c), operating the machine responsive to the determination in step (c) to begin a separate download of the at least one HTTP record from the server during a transaction with the machine; (e) responsive to step (d), operating the machine to fully download the at least one HTTP record from the server; and (f) subsequent to step (e), operating the machine to use the at least one HTTP record in carrying out the transaction. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method including operation of an automated banking machine including at least one computer comprising a browser, comprising:
-
(a) operating the at least one computer to perform only a partial download of an HTTP record at a server address during a first download attempt of the HTTP record, wherein only a first content level of the HTTP record is downloaded in the first download attempt; (b) responsive to the partial download in step (a), operating the at least one computer to determine that the HTTP record can be successfully downloaded at the address; (c) subsequent to step (b), operating the at least one computer dining a transaction with the machine to attempt a second download of the HTTP record at the address, responsive to the determination in step (b); (d) responsive to step (c), downloading a second content level of the HTTP record with the at least one computer, wherein the second content level is greater than the first content level, and (e) subsequent to step (d), operating the machine to use the HTTP record in carrying out the transaction. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)

21. A method comprising
(a) operating a computer in an automated banking machine to perform a record accessibility pre-check in determining that a document address is operative to enable the machine to later access at least one HTTP record corresponding to the address, wherein the machine includes computer executable instructions operative to cause the computer to operate; -
(b) operating the computer to begin a banking transaction which includes a plurality of transaction sequences, wherein the plurality of transaction sequences include a particular sequence that requires an attempt by the computer to access the at least one HTTP record; (c) subsequent to steps (a) and (b), operating the computer to carry out the particular sequence in the banking transaction, including operating the computer responsive to the determination in step (a) to attempt access of the at least one HTTP record from the address; (d) responsive to step (c), operating the computer to receive the at least one HTTP record; and (e) operating the computer to use in the banking transaction, the at least one HTTP record received in step (d).
