Claim:
A computer-implemented method of condensing a request for content, comprising: receiving, by a computer, from a communications device, a request for content destined for a server, wherein the request for content includes a header comprising a first Composite Capability/Preference Profile (CC/PP); removing, by the computer, a portion of the header of the request for content; storing, by the computer, the portion in memory; inserting, by the computer, into the header a reference to the stored portion; sending, by the computer, the request for content to the server; receiving, by the computer, a response from the server in response to the request for content; determining that the response indicates that the requested content was not adapted, and in response, not providing the response to the communications device such that the communications device is not informed that the requested content was not adapted; selecting, by the computer, a second CC/PP from a plurality of CC/PPs; and resending the request for content to the server with the second CC/PP, wherein the second CC/PP is different from the first CC/PP.
