One or more instances in program code that references an identifier of the standard web object model program object property that is prevented by a web browser from being directly reassigned are identified. The one or more instances in the program code that references the identifier of the standard web object model program object property that is prevented by the web browser from being directly reassigned are modified with one or more corresponding replacement references that include a replacement identifier. The replacement identifier id defined in the program code as being associated with a new program object property defined to invoke the standard web object model program object property in addition to being defined to perform additional processing of a resource identifier associated with the invocation of the standard web object model program object property.

Intercepting not directly interceptable program object property

A method of delivering dynamic web content by a proxy server is disclosed. A plurality of responses to requests for dynamic web content at a URL (uniform resource locator) is prefetched by a proxy server from an origin server. The plurality of prefetched responses is cached by the proxy server in a one-time cache, wherein each prefetched response cached in the one-time cache is served at most once and then removed from the one-time cache. A request from a client device for the dynamic web content at the URL is received by the proxy server. One of the plurality of prefetched responses cached in the one-time cache is served by the proxy server to the client device, wherein the one of the plurality of prefetched responses is removed from the one-time cache after the one of the plurality of prefetched responses has been served.

One-time cache

A resource identifier to be encoded dynamically upon detection of a triggering event is identified. The resource identifier is allowed to remain not encoded prior to detection of the triggering event. The triggering event that will cause the resource identifier to be consumed by a web browser is detected. In response to detecting the triggering event, the resource identifier is encoded, and an encoded version of the resource identifier is provided for consumption by the web browser.

Delayed encoding of resource identifiers

A resource identifier to be encoded is detected. One or more special characters in the detected resource identifier are identified. The detected resource identifier is encoded at least in part by preserving the identified one or more special characters in a resulting encoded resource identifier corresponding to the detected resource identifier. The encoded resource identifier is utilized in place of the detected resource identifier.

Preserving special characters in an encoded identifier

A method of updating a document object model (DOM) is disclosed. A message is received from a web browser requesting for information to update the DOM. A dummy response message is sent to the web browser, wherein the dummy response message does not include the information to update the DOM, and wherein the dummy response message causes the web browser to create a dummy node in the DOM. A request message is received from a client as part of a client-server protocol, wherein the request message requests at least a portion of the information to be sent to the client. A first response message is sent including at least a portion of the information to the client, wherein the first response message is processed by the client to determine a first update to the DOM, and wherein the first update is applied to the DOM.

Efficient delivery of content by virtualization of static interaction with the document object model

A method of distributing content to an application from a server is disclosed. The method includes detecting in a file to be sent to the application from the server that the application is directed to request one or more resources to be downloaded to the application. A network latency associated with the downloading of the one or more resources is determined. A subset of the one or more resources is selectively packaged based at least in part on the network latency. The selectively packaged subset of the one or more resources is sent to the application.

Smart packaging for mobile applications

A method of delivering content to a device is disclosed. The method includes receiving a request by a proxy server, wherein the request is received by a local client and transferred by the local client to the proxy server, and wherein the request comprises a request for content available at a content server sent from an application to the content server. The method further includes parsing the content and identifying a task associated with the content by the proxy server. The method further includes delivering the content and information associated with the identified task from the proxy server to the local client, wherein the content is further delivered from the local client to the application.

Accelerating the downloading of content to an application

A method of distributing content is disclosed. The method includes receiving by an edge server an indication indicating that a client has sent a request for a file that includes content related to executing an application. The method includes analyzing interaction with the client by the edge server to determine a first portion of the file that is likely to be required by the client for executing the application sooner than a second portion of the file. The method further includes generating by the edge server a modified file that includes the first portion of the file. The method further includes transmitting the modified file to the client.

Application acceleration with partial file caching

A method of reprioritizing execution of a script is disclosed. At least a portion of the script is partitioned into a plurality of component functions. At least one of the plurality of component functions is encapsulated with a wrapper component function. The initial loading of at least one of the plurality of component functions is selectively disabled. A modified script including at least one wrapper component function is generated. In some embodiments, profiling of the plurality of component functions is performed by collecting usage information of the plurality of component functions. In some embodiments, the selective disabling of the initial loading of a component function is based at least in part on the collected usage information of the plurality of component functions.

Optimization of scripting for web applications

A method of updating a document object model (DOM) is disclosed. A request by a web browser for information to update the DOM is intercepted by intercepting an interaction with the DOM. The request is converted to a server request as part of a client-server protocol, requesting at least a portion of the information from a server. The server request is sent to the server. A first server response including at least a portion of the information from the server is received. The first server response is processed according to the client-server protocol to determine a first update to the DOM. The first update is applied to the DOM.

Efficient delivery of content by virtualization of dynamic interaction with the document object model

A method of transmitting content from a server to a client executing an application is disclosed. A request from a client for a file that includes content related to executing an application is received. The request is responded to by transmitting a modified file that includes initial portions of the file that are sufficient to permit initial functioning of the application, wherein the modified file is formatted with at least one placeholder for remaining portions of the file. The application can begin to access the initial portions of the file by accessing the modified file. The application can access the remaining portions of the file using the at least one placeholder.
