Abstract: A system and method for handling multiple identical requests received by a server from a client by a web application server. When multiple requests for the same URL are received by a web application server from the same client browser which results in the allocation of multiple threads on the server to handle the requests, a response to the client is obtained from the processing carried out by the first thread launched by the web application server. Results of t he initial thread are passed to the client using the last opened connection between the client and server relating to the client's request for the URL. Other threads are placed in a wait state and are deallocated, at the earliest opportunity, where possible.
