ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for enabling access of a document on a remote network device by a local computer includes an interceptor for intercepting a request (from a web browser on the local computer system) for accessing the document. The interceptor responsively ascertains whether the local computer is connected to a network and, if connected to the network, downloads the document into memory of the local computer system. If the local computer is not connected to the network, the method and apparatus locates the document in the local memory of the local computer. Once downloaded or located, whichever the case may be, the document may be utilized by the user, such as by displaying the document on a display device.
