Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for requesting a resource over at least one network. The system includes a network entity, such as a gateway or an origin server, capable of receiving a resource request for the resource. The resource request includes a group header identifier such that the network entity is capable of identifying at least one header field associated with the group header. By identifying the header fields associated with the group header, the resource request can be processed in accordance with the associated header fields. Before receiving the resource request, the network entity can be capable of receiving a earlier request from a terminal, where the earlier request includes at least one header field and a call for associating the at least one header field with a group header identifier. The network entity can then be capable of associating the header fields with a group header identifier.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a system, apparatus, and method for providing Web services from a mobile device. In one arrangement, a mobile device is coupled to a server over a wireless network. The mobile device includes a Web services processing module and can receive a server-initiated data push. This data push can be implemented using a (WAP) Connection-Oriented (CO) Over the Air (OTA) push. A transport protocol can be bound to the data push, and a Web service message sent to the mobile device via the server initiated data push using the transport protocol. The mobile device can then process the Web service message and provide a response via the server initiated data push, if needed.

Abstract: A system, apparatus, and method is described for using reduced Web service messages. A reduced Web service message is formed at a first data processing arrangement based on at least a variant portion of a Web service message, such as a SOAP message. The Web service message contains data targeted for processing by a second data processing arrangement. The reduced message may contain only the variant data, or it may contain additional data representing some or all of the invariant data of the Web service message. The reduced message is sent via a network targeted for the second data processing arrangement. The reduced message may be used to form a reproduction of the Web service message, and the reproduction can be processed by the second data processing arrangement.
