A method by a web application layer attack detector communicatively coupled between web application clients and web application servers. The method includes receiving one or more data streams each carrying one or more web application layer requests, forming chunks from each of the one or more web application layer requests as it is being received, where each of the chunks is sized to be less than a preconfigured maximum chunk size, scanning the chunks for attacks as each of the chunks is formed without waiting to receive and store complete web application layer requests from which the chunks are formed, and sending each of one or more of the chunks that were determined, based on a result of the scanning, not to include an attack to the web application server for which the web application layer request from which that chunk was formed is intended.

Chunk-scanning of web application layer requests to reduce delays

A system for caching content including a server supplying at least one of static and non-static content elements, content distinguishing functionality operative to categorize elements of the non-static content as being either dynamic content elements or pseudodynamic content elements, and caching functionality operative to cache the pseudodynamic content elements. The static content elements are content elements which are identified by at least one of the server and metadata associated with the content elements as being expected not to change, the non-static content elements are content elements which are not identified by the server and/or by metadata associated with the content elements as being static content elements, the pseudodynamic content elements are non-static content elements which, based on observation, are not expected to change, and the dynamic content elements are non-static content elements which are not pseudodynamic.
