ABSTRACT:
Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a method and apparatus for integration of URL's into standard file systems of a local computer. In one embodiment of the present invention, the file system (e.g., a Uniform File System (UFS)) of a local computer is integrated with an Internet protocol, such as the Hyper Text Transport Protocol (HTTP). Once the protocol has been integrated into the file system of the local computer, applications running on local computer can access any Web based documents under that protocol. Thus, the local applications (and/or users) can access these Web based documents (and/or files) as if they are local files even though the documents are actually located on the Internet (and away from the local computer). In a further embodiment, the applications (and/or users) are able to access these Web based documents by utilizing a relating apparatus that relates the applications (and/or users) to their corresponding Web based documents.
