Patent ID: 8868638

Claim:
A method for reducing latency in network connections, the method comprising: receiving at an optimization device a request from one of one or more client devices for a network resource hosted at one of one or more server devices; determining at the optimization device whether an automatic redirect parameter is enabled for the request; sending the request from one proxy processing device acting as the requesting one of the one or more client devices within the optimization device to another proxy processing device within the optimization device when the automatic redirect parameter is determined to be enabled; repeatedly obtaining, at the another proxy processing device within the optimization device, a redirect message with one or more optimized cookies associated with the requested network resource from the one or more server devices, sending the redirect message and the one or more optimized cookies from the another proxy processing device within the optimization device to the one proxy processing device within the optimization device, and sending from the one proxy processing device back to the another proxy processing device a new request for the requested network resource using the redirect message until the requested network resource is located; and forwarding from the one proxy processing device, when the requested network resource is located, only a last of the obtained redirect messages with the one or more optimized cookies associated with the requested network resource to the requesting one of the one or more client devices.
