Patent number: 11232166Abstract: A networked page access and addressing method to generate web pages responsive to requested client requests parses addresses of incoming requests into at least two logical segments: a first likely to represent a category and a second likely to represent a product. By generating hash values for the first segment, it can be compared against hashes in the internal directory to identify a local category corresponding to the represented in the address. If so, a local address can be generated by combining with the second segment with an identifier of that local category. Information from the data record at that local address can used to form a web page responsive to the request.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2019Date of Patent: January 25, 2022Assignee: salesforce.com, inc.Inventors: Andrew Howe, Thomas E.
