Facilitating server response optimization

Abstract

An algorithm facilitates optimization functionality for generating optimized response information. In facilitating such optimization, non-essential elements of the response information (i.e., unneeded for system interpretation) are eliminated thereby reducing the size of the response information and generating optimized response information as well as reducing the memory footprint of cache required for storing such optimized response information. Examples of such non-essential elements of response information include, but are not limited to, indention characters, tab characters, blank space characters and the like. Such optimization functionality is tailored to optimizing the size of response information being transmitted from a server. More specifically, it provides for reduction in bandwidth occupied by outgoing response information from a transmitting a server. Examples of such response information include, but are not limited to, HTML formatted information, XML formatted information, JavaScript formatted information and SOAP formatted information. Advantageously, this optimization functionality is configured in a manner whereby it does not increase the load on the resource utilization, thereby providing an overall and desirable improvement in network performance.
