Abstract
A server-based application intercepts an initial request for access to documents which may contain imbedded references to linked information. A request is made from the server to the actual location of the requested document as it is found on a network (e.g. WORLD-WIDE WEB, INTERNET, etc.). The document is retrieved into the server and parsed to discover all imbedded addresses contained therein. The server then replaces each imbedded address with its own address plus the original imbedded address such that all future references to the imbedded information will be supplied by the server. Additional linking information, functions and/or environment escape information may then be prepended and/or postpended to the requested document independently through the server.
