Abstract
A method, system and apparatus for delivering an alternate Web page to a browser are provided. The method, system and apparatus include the implementation of indicating Web pages that are not authorized to be displayed by the browser using content filter settings, comparing the content filter settings to content labels incorporated in a requested Web page and delivering an alternate Web page, if there is a match. The filter settings are generated by the browser and sent to a server in a request message. The browser also incorporates a semaphore in the request message. The semaphore is used to indicate whether the comparison should be undertaken. Thus, if the semaphore is absent in the request message, the requested Web page is delivered to the browser as customary. Further, in the case where there is a match and there is not an alternate Web page specified, either the requested Web page may be delivered to the browser or a message may be delivered to the browser indicating that the requested web page is off-limit.
