  • Selective prefetch scanning
    Patent number: 9407717
    Abstract: The present invention relates to systems, apparatus, and methods of enhancing prefetcher functionality by scanning responses object requests. In certain embodiments, prefetching is improved by identifying references to container objects or sections of container objects at a proxy server. When URLs are identified as part of a container object, a prefetching determination or adjustment to a prefetching decision is made according to the identification of the reference for a subset of URLs identified by the reference to the container object. For example, prefetching of URLs located in cascading style sheet (CSS) files may be restricted to a subset of URLs which are identified by a CSS rule.

  • Methods and systems for utilizing delta coding in acceleration proxy servers
    Patent number: 8671223
    Abstract: The present invention relates to systems, apparatus, and methods of utilizing delta coding in acceleration proxy servers. The method including storing, at a proxy server, a plurality of dictionary pages within a page storage disk and indexing, at the proxy server, the plurality of dictionary pages with fingerprint identifiers. The fingerprint identifiers are configured to uniquely identify data strings within each of the plurality of dictionary pages. The method further includes receiving, at the proxy server, a data request. The request includes a plurality of fingerprints associated with the requested data.
