Abstract: A browser request is received at a computing device which may be either a user computer (102-104) or a server (108), and a determination is made as to whether to replace the browser request with a push notification. If the request will require an enduring connection (e.g. updates to sports scores) the web browser changes the request to a push request and sends it sent to a push server (110), which interacts with the server and returns push notifications to the browser (Fig.3, not shown). If a reply to the request will take some time, the server changes the request by returning an acknowledgment to the browser which includes an instruction to close the HTTP connection and an indication that the server intends to use a push notification for a reply (Fig.4, not shown). In this way, fewer HTTP connections are maintained open at any one time.
