Abstract

A system, method and computer-readable medium for client-side processing of resource identifiers. A client request for content is returned that includes information for generating a request for translation information and a number of embedded resource identifiers. Based on the information for generating a request for translation information, the client generates and obtains translation information and processes the embedded resource identifiers to obtain resources from a service provider.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

obtaining, by a service provider, a request for resource identifier processing information, wherein the request for the resource identifier processing information is generated by a client computer based on execution of code included in information responsive to a previous content request;

transmitting, by the service provider, responsive processing information, wherein the responsive processing information includes information for identifying a service provider resource for providing requested content; and

obtaining, by the service provider, a request for content corresponding to translated original content identifiers, wherein the translated original content identifiers are translated by the client computer utilizing at least in part the responsive processing information.

2. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the information for identifying the service provider corresponds to a uniform resource locator of the service provider.

3. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the information for identifying the service provider includes a domain name of the service provider.

4. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the information responsive to the previous content request includes original content identifiers and wherein the original content identifiers correspond to uniform resource locators of a content provider.

5. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the information responsive to the previous content request includes original content identifiers and wherein the original content identifiers correspond to uniform resource locators of a service provider.

6. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the request for content corresponding to translated original content identifiers does not require a DNS server providing the translated original content identifiers.

7. The method as recited in claim 1, further comprising transmitting, by the service provider, one or more original content identifiers.

8. A system comprising:

at least one computing device corresponding to a service provider, the at least one computing device operative to;

obtain a request for resource identifier processing information, wherein the request for the resource identifier processing information is generated by a client computer based on execution of code included in information responsive to a previous content request;

transmit responsive processing information, wherein the responsive processing information includes information for identifying a service provider resource for providing requested content; and

obtain a request for content corresponding to translated original content identifiers, wherein the translated original content identifiers are translated by the client computer utilizing at least in part the responsive processing information.

9. The system as recited in claim 8, the information for identifying the service provider corresponds to a uniform resource locator of the service provider.

10. The system as recited in claim 8, wherein the information for identifying the service provider includes a domain name of the service provider.

11. The system as recited in claim 8, wherein the information responsive to the previous content request includes original content identifiers and wherein the original content identifiers correspond to uniform resource locators of a content provider.

12. The system as recited in claim 8, wherein the information responsive to the previous content request includes original content identifiers and wherein the original content identifiers correspond to uniform resource locators of a service provider.

13. The system as recited in claim 8, wherein the request for content corresponding to translated original content identifiers does not require a DNS server providing the translated original content identifiers.

14. The system as recited in claim 8, wherein the at least one computing device is further operative to transmit one or more original content identifiers.

15. The system as recited in claim 8, wherein the at least one computing device is further operative to provide the executable code for causing the client computer to generate a request for translation information, wherein the executive code is provided to a content provider for embedding in a network resource.

16. The system as recited in claim 8 further comprising memory for storing the executable code for causing the client computer to generate a request for resource identifier processing information.
