ABSTRACT:
A procedure for obtaining a copy of a data object is disclosed. A client computer provides a server computer, such as a proxy server, a firewall or a gateway, with a request for a data object. The request includes a location-independent identifier associated with the desired data object is obtained. The server computer interrogates a cache to determine whether a copy of the data object is cached. If the data object is cached, the server computer obtains a copy of the cached data object from the cache. If the data object is not cached, the server computer performs a network call to obtain a new copy of the data object.
