Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention relate to an apparatus and method for providing an end user of a network terminal in a local network with an access link to an external network. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a network node further includes a control unit arranged to transmit a local hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) response including detailed information to at least one network terminal in said local network using an earlier original HTTP request towards said external network made by said at least one network terminal in the local network.
Claims19
A network node arranged to provide an end user of a network terminal in a local network with an access link to an external network, said network node being arranged to be connected between said local network and said external network,
- said network node comprises
- a control unit arranged to transmit a local hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) response, said local hypertext transfer protocol response comprising general network node information or external information provided to the network node from the external network, to at least one network terminal in said local network based on an earlier original HTTP request towards said external network made by said at least one network terminal in the local network.
A method for use in a network node providing an end user of a network terminal in a local network with an access link to an external network, said network node is arranged to be connected between said local network and said external network, the method comprising the steps of
- transmitting a local hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) response, said local hypertext transfer protocol response comprising general network node information or external information provided to the network node from the external network, to at least one network terminal in said local network based on an earlier original HTTP request towards said external network made by said at least one network terminal in the local network.
A computer program product for use in a network node in a local network, which comprises computer readable code means, which when run in a control unit in the network node causes said control unit to perform the step of:
- transmitting a local hypertext transfer protocol [HTTP] response, said local hypertext transfer protocol [HTTP] response comprising general network node information or external information provided to the network node from the external network, to at least one network terminal in said local network based on an earlier original HTTP request towards said external network made by said at least one network terminal in the local network.
