Abstract:
1. A method comprising: receiving a resource request for a resource at a network entity, the resource request including a group header identifier; identifying at least one header field associated with the group header identifier at the network entity; and processing the resource request in accordance with the at least one header field associated with the group header identifier, wherein before receiving the resource request for the resource, the method comprises: associating the at least one header field with the group header identifier at the network entity, wherein associating the at least one header field with the group header identifier comprises: wherein the network entity is otherwise configured, in instances in which a resource request is received without a group header identifier or call, to process the resource request independent of any group header identifier or without associating any header field with any group header identifier, and wherein the method further comprises: receiving a subsequent request at the network entity from the terminal after sending the group header identifier to the terminal, the subsequent request including the group header identifier and an alternative at least one header field: and replacing the at least one header field associated with the group header identifier to thereby associate the alternative at least one header field with the group header identifier.
