Claim 10:
11. An apparatus, disposed on a client-side of a communications network, for accelerating setup of a persistent connection over the network between a client device and a remote host server, where establishing the connection requires a connection request by the client device and a corresponding connection response by the remote host server, the apparatus comprising:
processor circuitry; and
non-transitory digital storage having stored therein instructions that cause the processor circuitry to:
intercept a connection request to establish a persistent connection over the network generated by the client device for a connection with the remote host server;
determine whether a pre-connect response to establish the persistent connection from the remote host server is stored on the client-side of the network and corresponds to the intercepted connection request; and
responsive to a determination that the pre-connect response from the remote host server is stored on the client-side of the network and corresponds to the intercepted connection request, provide the pre-connect response to the client device as a complete response to the intercepted connection request.
