Abstract: A proxy server routes a request for online content from a user device to an origin server, which returns the requested online content to the proxy server. The proxy server passes the online content to the user device. In order to service subsequent user device requests with cached content, the proxy server, having received the initially requested online content from the origin server, parses out dynamic content specific to the user from static content common to many users within the web page content according to tags identifying the dynamic content. The proxy server stores the dynamic content within a personalized cache and also stores an association between the user/user device for the dynamic content stored. In this way, a subsequent request from the user device for the same online content may be serviced from cache, and include dynamic content specific to that user/user device by way of the personalized cache.

Abstract: In a storage cluster, a producer and a consumer can be remote from each other and have different capabilities. For example, a consumer may be running on a computing node (hereinafter “node”) that operates faster than a node hosting a producer. In addition, network conditions can impact communications to/from the producer and/or the consumer. This environment allows the possibility of a consumer violating sequential access constraints of a file when a producer is writing to the file. This can lead to the consumer reading incorrect data. A file system can ensure compliance with serialization of a concurrently accessed file by obtaining a lock on a subsequent file range before releasing a currently held write lock.

Abstract: In a dispersed storage network where slices of secure user data are stored on geographically separated storage units (44), a managing unit (18) connected to the network (20) may seek to broadcast and update secure access control list information across the network (20). Upon a target device (e.g., devices 12, 14, 16, 18, or 44) receiving the broadcast the target device creates and sends an access control list change notification message to all other system devices that should have received the same broadcast if the broadcast is a valid request to update access control list information. The target device waits for responses from the other system devices to validate that the broadcast has been properly sent to a threshold number of other system devices before taking action to operationally change local data in accordance with the broadcast.
