  • Publication number: 20110066608
    Abstract: An architectural stack includes a rules proxy. The rules proxy may be between a web server and a HTTP proxy cache, and may be an HTTP proxy application. The rules proxy receives a user request to access a web page from the web server, captures user data (e.g., referrer data and/or session data) from the user request, applies a rule to the user data to assign the user to a user bucket, generates a web page with content using the assigned user bucket, and delivers the user-specific, generated web page to the user.
