Patent ID: 7228343

Claim:
In a client system that accesses web resources to be processed by a web browser, a method of selectively overriding default client version properties of the web browser, comprising the acts of: prior to the client system issuing a request to a server for a web resource, searching for an override client version property set corresponding to the web resource that is different from a default client version property set associated with the web browser and that was selected so as to obtain a version of the web resource that is appropriate for the web browser, wherein searching for the override client version property set includes the client system searching for an identifier corresponding to an address of the web resource within a data structure that correlates identifiers with override client version properties; and transmitting the request to the server for the web resource; wherein the client system substitutes the override client version property set within the request to the server for the web resource, rather than using the default client version property set, upon determining the identifier corresponding with the web resource occurs within the data structure, and wherein the client system uses the default client version property set within the request to the server for the web resource, rather than using the override client version property set, upon determining the identifier corresponding with the web resource fails to occur within the data structure.
