Web server with ability to process URL requests for non-markup language objects and perform actions on the objects using executable instructions contained in the URL

A server system enabling a server to process URL requests for one or more non-markup language objects, the URL comprising at least one executable instruction, the system comprising:

• storing means for storing one or more non-markup language objects;
• requesting means for requesting the one or more non-markup language objects using the URL, the URL comprising an object locator and at least one executable instruction;
• receiving means for receiving the URL for the one or more non-markup language objects;
• and
• wherein the receiving means, upon receipt of the URL, asks the one or more non-markup language objects to process the at least one executable instruction provided in the URL.

• processor readable code for causing a processor to store one or more non-markup language objects in at least one database;
• processor readable code for causing a processor to request the one or more non-markup language objects by identifying the one or more non-markup language objects and at least one executable instruction associated with the one or more non-markup language objects in the URL;
• processor readable code for causing a processor to receive the URL and locate the one or more non-markup language objects;
