Automatic fetching and storage of requested primary and related documents or files at receiving web stations after repeated failures to access such documents or files from the World Wide Web

摘要

Minimizing the effects that repetitive failures to access requested documents or files will have on the user requesting the files through a receiving network or World Wide Web (Web) station. When there is a network, e.g. Web failure in the access of a requested document, the system will retry to access. However, when the failed retries reaches a selected number, the system will then continue to try to access the requested document and, when that document is finally accessed, the system will automatically store the document in an appropriate cache associated with the requesting receiving station. Documents related to this initial document will also be automatically accessed from the Web and stored at the receiving station together with the initial document. Note, these related documents may be documents accessed through hyperlinks in the initial document.
