Embodiments of the present invention relate to systems, methods, and computer storage media for customizing a user agent profile for a mobile communications device. The mobile communications device communicates a request for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) compatible data. The request includes information about capabilities of the mobile communications device. The mobile communications device receives an options page that includes selectable options associated with the capabilities of the mobile communications device. Selectable options of the options page are selected to identify one or more preferences of a user of the mobile communications device. The mobile communications device communicates the selected options to be used for generating the customized user agent profile. The mobile device receives a target HTTP-compatible page that is a variation of the requested HTTP-compatible page, converted based on the customized user agent profile.

Customizing a browsing experience on a mobile communications device

Disclosed herein is a method and system for providing streaming media to a client device. Specifically, in a streaming media session that is initially ongoing between a content server and a client device via a first proxy server: (i) the first proxy server may determine that an interruption in the streaming media session is going to occur and responsively (a) send a transfer request to the client device and (b) send session information to a second proxy server, the session information comprising information identifying the streaming media session and a progress indicator that indicates a current status of the streaming media session, and (ii) after the transfer request and the session information is sent, continuing the streaming media session via the second proxy server. The second proxy server uses the progress indicator as a basis to continue the streaming media session with the client device.

Redirection of a streaming media session in an anticipated failover scenario

A method is disclosed for receiving at a network gateway a message generated in response to a content request, wherein the content request was generated by a client device in response to invocation of an invalid bookmarked link on a browser. The gateway may then modify the message by inserting bookmark-update data that instructs the client device to update the bookmarked link. Finally, the gateway may send the modified message to the client device, whereby the client device may update the bookmarked link.

Method for bookmark detection and correction for a client device

Embodiments of the present invention relate to systems, methods, and computer storage media for customizing a user agent profile for a mobile communications device. The mobile communications device communicates a request for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (http) compatible data to a gateway device. The capabilities of the mobile communications device are identified to create an options page. The options page includes selectable options associated with an identified selection of the capabilities of the mobile communications device. A selection of the selectable options of the options page are selected to identify one or more preferences of a user of the mobile communications device. A user agent profile is created based, in part, on the selection of the selectable options of the options page. Based on the user agent profile, the requested data compatible with http is converted to correspond with the preferences indicated by the user agent profile.
