ABSTRACT:
A file wrapping and downloading method for downloading files from a server computer (12) to a user computer (14) over a communications network (16) such as the Internet is disclosed. The method dynamically embeds or wraps relevant store/reseller information into a file while the file is being downloaded, thus eliminating the need for a special wrap for each store or reseller. The method is preferably partially implemented by a Dynamic Wrapping Engine (DWE) program residing on web server computer (12).
