Abstract
A registration applet embedded in a registration page of a browser program allows a user to associate a user-specified group name with a plurality of UTRLs, HTTP POST or GET requests or other network service identifiers, such that the group name designates a category of information provided by corresponding network services. An access applet embedded in an access page of the browser allows a user to select one of several previously-registered group names, and an access mode for processing responses to service requests. A processor running the access applet automatically issues parallel requests to the network services associated with a selected group name in response to entry of a command by the user. The user may select a parallel-any access mode, in which the processor displays only the first response to the parallel requests, a parallel-all mode, in which the processor directs the display of multiple responses in a user-specified display format, or a retry access mode, in which the processor reissues a network service request if a response to a previous request is not received within a predetermined time period.
