Abstract:
1. A method for reducing latency in network connections, the method comprising: receiving by a proxy server device a response from one or more server devices in response to a request from a client device for a network resource stored on the one or more server devices; sending another request from the proxy server device to the one or more server devices without providing the response to the client device, wherein the sending is performed at least partially based upon a network address indicated in a redirect message included in the response and the other request includes one or more cookies included in the response merged with one or more other cookies received in one or more prior responses; repeating by the proxy server device the receiving and sending until the response is determined to include the network resource; sending by the proxy server device the redirect message including the network address to the client device along with the one or more cookies and the one or more other cookies included in the response when the response is determined to include the network resource; and receiving by the proxy server device, subsequent to sending the redirect message to the client device, an additional request from the client device, the additional request identifying the network resource based on the network address included in the redirect message.
