Abstract: Method and apparatus for moving Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) and Extensible Markup Language (XML) information into a Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) header. HTML or XML content is created. Information is inserted into the content where all inserted information has identifiers. The content is searched for all information with the identifiers. A HTTP header is generated for the content where the generated HTTP header includes the information located in the content. The content may be created and the information inserted by a developer at a web server. The content is received at a network node that searches the content and creates the HTTP header incorporating the information. Other network nodes may use the information in the header, for example to control storage of the content at an Internet cache.
