Abstract:
A method and system for gathering enriched web server activity data in a global communications network in which requested information files are cached at a plurality of network devices. With the prevalence of web caching on the Internet, the origin web servers do not serve the majority of requests for web site content. A single pixel clear Graphics Image Format (GIF) request is added to the HyperText Markup Language (HTML) source file for a web page. Appended to the GIF request is a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) string of data that contains enhanced web activity data information, including the number of images ( hits") that have to be retrieved by a client browser to build the web page, and the referring identifier that resulted in access to the web page. The single pixel clear GIF request is not cacheable and results in the request being transmitted to the origin web server when the client browser interprets the HTML file. The enriched data is stored in log files at the origin web server to accumulate an accurate number of hits on the web page.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and a method for generating a complicated web page for improving the flexibility and performance of web page design in comparison with a conventional method for processing the entire web page as a single logic entity. SOLUTION: This method for constructing and disclosing plural objects is provided with a step for providing plural fractions, a step for constructing an object from the plural fractions, a step for delaying the disclosure of at least one object containing at least one fraction belonging to a first class to examine contents and a step for disclosing at least one object containing at least one fraction belonging to a second class without examining contents.

Abstract:
Procedure has the following steps: supply of at least one web page fragment, determination of an order of web page or object assembly based on a relation (hypertext link) between the object and the fragment and construction of a number of web pages or objects based on the order of object or web page assembly and on any included relations (hypertext links). The invention also relates to software for ensuring all the object and fragment links are up to date. An Independent claim is made for a system for continuous updating and publication of web pages.
