Abstract
A content delivery method, and related apparatus, that involves the operations of receiving a request for a content resource including at least one embedded resource with a tag. Upon identification of the tag, using at least one delivery parameter to generate a modified embedded resource. Embedding the modified embedded resource in a content resource, such as an HTML document. Delivering, such as in response to request from a browser, the content resource with the modified embedded resource.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- memory, operatively connected to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform a method, the method comprising:
- receiving, by an origin system, a request from a client device for a resource, the resource including at least one embedded resource with a tag;
- upon identification of the tag, using at least one delivery parameter to obtain, by the origin system, a modified embedded resource from a network that is separate from the origin system;
- and
- delivering, by the origin system, the resource to the client device with the modified embedded resource, wherein the modified embedded resource includes a direct link to a node within the network that can deliver data associated with the embedded resource.

A system within a network comprising:
- at least one processor;
- memory, operatively connected to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform a method, the method comprising:
- receiving, from an origin system that is separate from network, an embedded resource and at least one parameter associated with the embedded resource;
- generating a modified embedded resource providing a direct link to a node within the network for obtaining data associated with the embedded resource;
- delivering, by the network, the modified embedded resource to the origin system;
- receiving, at the node, a request from a client device to obtain the data;
- and
- providing the data to the client device.
