ABSTRACT:
A method and system for dynamically varying intermediation functions in a communication path between a content server and a client station. An intermediation system within the communication path receives an HTTP message and detects an intermediation-variance instruction within the message. In response, the intermediation system varies a default set of intermediation logic, such as by removing, changing or adding one or more intermediation triggers and/or intermediation actions. In turn, the intermediation system applies the variant intermediation logic in response to the HTTP message and/or in response to subsequent HTTP messages.
