  • Patent number: 8195767
    Abstract: This disclosure provides various embodiments of systems, software, and computerized methods for reducing the number of server requests sent to a web server. In one aspect, the software generates a file reference uniquely identifying a version of a file capable of being cached by a requester. The file reference can comprise a network-addressable location of the version of the cacheable file and a parameter uniquely identifying the version of the cacheable file, where the parameter is separated from the network-addressable location of the version of the cacheable file. The software can further embed the file reference into a web page file, and send the web page file in response to a request for the web page. The parameter may include a plurality of data elements, such as a second instance of the file name, a timestamp, or a version number of the cacheable file.

  • Publication number: 20090006492
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer systems and program products synchronizing a displayname and a resource identifier. In one technique, a machine-implemented method includes receiving input corresponding to a displayname of a data resource; preparing a resource identifier of the data resource within a repository based on the input and naming conventions associated with the repository; and preparing the displayname of the data resource based on the input. The resource identifier may be prepared such that the resource identifier resembles the displayname. Naming conventions may include a naming convention that requires a content-type extension to be retained by a resource identifier. The displayname may be presented to a user interface such that only the displayname is displayed and a corresponding resource identifier is excluded from being displayed.
