In an embodiment, a client device transmits a request for an initial web page to a proxy server. The proxy server requests the initial web page on behalf of the client device in response to the client device's request. The proxy server then executes a web page redirection procedure that is independent of interaction with the client device and results in the proxy server obtaining web page content. The proxy server delivers the web page content to a proxy client application on the client device along with instructions for simulating, on the client device, the web page redirection procedure between the proxy client application and a mobile web browser on the client device. The proxy client application on the client device then simulates the web page redirection procedure that occurred at the proxy server as instructed.

Loading a re-directed web page on a web browser of a client device in a communications system

In an embodiment, a client device transmits a request for an initial web resource to a proxy server. The proxy server requests the initial web resource on behalf of the client device in response to the client device's request. The proxy server then executes a web resource redirection procedure (which involves one or more redirects) that is independent of interaction with the client device and results in the proxy server obtaining web resource content. The proxy server delivers the web resource content to a proxy client application on the client device along with instructions for simulating, on the client device, the web resource redirection procedure between the proxy client application and a mobile web browser on the client device. The proxy client application on the client device then simulates the web resource redirection procedure that occurred at the proxy server as instructed.

Loading a re-directed web resource on a web browser of a client device in a communications system

In an embodiment, a UE determines to load a web page via a mobile browsing application on the UE. The UE obtains, from a web server, web page resource information for loading the web page on the UE. The UE loads the web page using the web page resource information and identifies one or more hints for assisting one or more mobile browsing applications on at least one other UE to perform an initial load of the web page, which the UE then reports to a hints server. The hints server collects hints from the UE as well as other UEs, evaluates their relevance and generates and/or updates a crowd-sourced hints list based on their perceived relevance. The hints server provides the crowd-sourced hints list to a target UE, and the target UE uses the crowd-sourced hints list to load the web page.
