ABSTRACT:
A browser accesses a remote server over a network, where the server has a URL containing a protocol portion and a server portion. The browser includes a user interface for allowing a viewer to type in said server portion. The typed-in server portion is one of a plurality of possible server portions, each possible server portion having a corresponding protocol portion. The protocol portion that corresponds to the typed-in server portion is determined in response to the typed-in server portion. A complete URL is generated by attaching the determined protocol portion to the typed-in server portion. A connection is opened with the remote server using the generated URL.
