  • Dynamically modifying HTTP connections
    Patent number: 11943308
    Abstract: A condition exists that triggers an HTTP server to modify one or more HTTP connections for one or more HTTP clients that are connected to the HTTP server. The HTTP server dynamically modifies the one or more HTTP connections including dynamically modifying one or more HTTP connection resource parameters for the one or more HTTP connections. For each of the one or more HTTP clients, the HTTP server monitors that HTTP client to determine whether it is complying with the modified one or more HTTP connection resource parameters. If one of the one or more HTTP clients is not complying with the modified one or more HTTP connection resource parameters, the HTTP server closes an HTTP connection to that HTTP client.

  • Preloading on-demand code pieces in a distributed cloud computing network
    Patent number: 11621995
    Abstract: A compute server of a distributed cloud computing network receives an indication of a hostname in a Transport Layer Security (TLS) handshake message from a client device. The compute server determines that an on-demand code piece is configured to execute on the compute server responsive to receiving an HTTP request for the hostname. Prior to receiving the request for the hostname, the compute server preloads the on-demand code piece for execution. The compute server receives an HTTP request from the client device that triggers execution of the preloaded on-demand code piece. The compute server executed the preloaded on-demand code piece and generates a response to the HTTP request based in part on the executed code piece. The compute server transmits the response to the client device.
