What changed

This document is a newly published patent application from the USPTO detailing a system for 'Automatic Speculation Configuration Management'. The invention involves an intermediary server that receives client requests, retrieves resources from an origin server, and generates responses including headers that reference speculation configurations for prefetching other resources. The system also handles client requests for these configurations and subsequent prefetching requests.

As this is a patent application, it does not impose direct regulatory obligations or compliance deadlines on entities. However, it represents a new development in networking and caching technology that companies in the technology sector may wish to monitor for potential future licensing or competitive implications. No specific actions are required from compliance officers at this time.

Abstract

Automatic speculation configuration management is described. An intermediary server receives a request from a client. The resource is retrieved from the origin server, where the resource includes link(s) to other resource(s). The intermediary server generates and transmits a response that includes a header that references a speculation configuration for prefetching at least one of the other resource(s). The intermediary server receives a request for the speculation configuration from the client. The intermediary server generates and transmits a response to the client that includes the speculation configuration. The intermediary server receives a prefetching request from the client for one of the resources indicated in the speculation configuration, retrieves that resource, and transmits a response to the client with that resource.
