ABSTRACT:
A method and system for notifying a user that the user is engaging in interstitial communication. An intermediation system within an HTTP communication path between a content server and a client station engages in interstitial communication with a client station. During the interstitial communication, the intermediation system sends one or more interstitial screens to the client station and includes in each screen a predefined interstitial notice. Further, to help safeguard against the possibility that a third party will try to provide the interstitial notice within an HTTP response to the client station, the intermediation system can be arranged to detect and strip the interstitial notice from any such HTTP response.
