  • the present invention relates to the transfer and storage of information over an electronic network. More particularly, the invention relates to a proxy server caching mechanism that provides a method for retrieving, processing and storing XML documents for access by an end user.
  • HTML Hypertext Markup Language
  • HTML is the most successful electronic-publishing language ever invented, it is superficial. In essence, it describes how a Web browser should arrange text, images and push-buttons on a page, but its lack of structure creates significant barriers to using HTML for applications beyond simple browsing. For example, more and more people are trying to configure their Web sites to take orders from customers, transmit records, even run factories and scientific instruments from half a world away. Consequently, several enhancements and additions have been made to the suite of software systems operating on the Internet to make HTML sufficiently functional. Functionality is often added in HTML documents using Java, JavaScript, and Common Gateway Interface (CGI) programs. Unfortunately, adding functionality in this way obscures the clean, basic revisions arising from the efforts of browser vendors to extend the Web, followed by the efforts of standard bodies such as the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to keep up with the ever-changing state of the art.

  • An XML document is composed of data embedded within markup tags. These tags are similar to those used in HTML, except that the XML tags may be self-defined. In other words, XML tags define the internal structure of the embedded data. This convention change leads to a greatly increased number of tags in an XML document, compared to the identical HTML document.

Abstract

L'invention concerne des systèmes et des procédés servant au traitement, à la mise en mémoire et à l'acheminement efficaces de documents XML au moyen d'un serveur de procuration. Ledit serveur est couplé à au moins un ordinateur client et à plusieurs serveurs à distance sur Internet. Dans ce mode de réalisation préféré, le serveur de procuration est adapté pour recevoir une demande de document sous forme de localisateur de ressources universel (URL) d'un ordinateur client, et pour déterminer si le document est un document XML non traité. Si le document est un document XML non traité, le serveur de procuration est également adapté pour rechercher une mémoire cache locale pour une version traitée du document, puis transmettre le document traité au client en faisant la demande. Au cas où le document ne serait pas trouvé en mémoire locale, le serveur de procuration est adapté pour traiter le document XML, l'acheminer vers le client, puis stocker le fichier en mémoire locale en prévision de demandes ultérieures du même document.
