Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: receiving first request data from a first user agent, wherein the first request data corresponds to a request for web content and the first request data includes a uniform request locator (URL) and first request header data; determining whether the URL and the first request header data match with a URL value of a grouping and a first header data value of multiple header data values of the grouping, wherein: the grouping includes at least a first grouping classification and a second grouping classification, both of which correspond to a single copy of cached content data, the first grouping classification includes the first header data value of the multiple header data values and indicates that the single copy of cached content data is at least substantially similar to first web content that could be requested based on the URL value and the first header data value, and the second grouping classification includes a second header data value of the multiple header values, the second header value is different from the first header data value, the second grouping classification indicates that the single copy of cached content data is at least substantially similar to second web content that could be requested based on the URL value and the second header data value, wherein the grouping can maintain the single copy of cached content data even though the first web content is not identical to the second web content; and transmitting, from an optimization server, the cached content data to the first user agent based on the determination.
