Abstract:
1. A dynamic to static (D-to-D) Web address conversion method comprising: parsing, at a Web server configured to execute a Web address converter, a dynamic address pointing to a dynamic Web page to identify and separate fields within the dynamic address, wherein the parsing identifies one or more fields of the dynamic address specific to dynamic addresses, and wherein at least one field has a value and the parsing identifies and separates fields comprising: a “hostname” for containing a value that is a name of a server hosting the dynamic Web page; a “path” for containing a value that a hierarchical path name of the dynamic Web page; “searchparameters” for containing one or more values that are names of a parameters used to invoke the dynamic Web page; and “searchvalues” for containing one or more values, wherein each value is associated with a name of a parameter in the searchparameters field; removing the one or more fields specific to dynamic addresses from the dynamic address at the Web server; and generating a static address incorporating the value of at least one field at the Web server, the static address also pointing to the dynamic Web page, wherein the generating step forms the static address wherein a last of the searchvalues is followed by a format-identifying extension.
