  • Zone-based rendering of resource addresses
    Patent number: 7461170
    Abstract: Resources may be published to one or more computer networks. However, linking and retrieval of these resources are prone to error because resource addresses may depend on the network that is used to access the resource. The present invention is generally directed to dynamically rendering links based on the location of the computer that generated a request. Dynamically rendering links allows resources to be published to multiple networks and referenced without resources appearing to be inaccessible to users.
