Abstract:
1. A software-implemented method of asynchronously reloading Web page content, comprising: responsive to receiving, at a server from a client over a first network connection, a request for displayable Web page content in which at least a portion of the displayable Web page content is dynamic, performing steps of: responsive to receiving, at the server from the client over a second network connection, a request for the stored image, starting delivery of the stored image from the server to the client over the second network connection, the stored image sized as to require relatively longer transmission time, from the server to the client over the second network connection, as compared to transmission time for the sending of the generated Web page content over the first network connection; detecting, by the server without input from the client or the user, that the displayable Web page content that was sent to the client over the first network connection needs to be updated; updating the displayable Web page content and closing the second network connection, by the server responsive to the detecting, while the stored image is still being delivered to the client over the second network connection, thereby causing the client to detect the error condition and to automatically respond to the detected error condition by sending a new request for reloading of the displayable Web page content; and responsive to receiving, at the server from the client, the new request, repeating the performing of the generating and sending steps, wherein the generating step uses the updated Web page content.
