An active transcoding proxy to support mobile web access

Abstract: In this paper, we present a proxy based system MOWSER to support web browsing from mobile clients over wireless networks. Mowser is a proxy agent between the mobile host and the web server, which performs active transcoding of data on both upstream and downstream trafc to present web information to the mobile user according to the QoS parameters set by the user. Active transcoding is de ned a s m o difying the HTTP stream in situ, and it is entirely transparent to the user. Further, our system does not pose an… Show more

“…For instance, a proxy accelerator placed on the outgoing network path (with the purpose of speeding up communications) may obstacle botnet communications and operations, being it based on intermediation mechanisms (caching, data compression, etc…) that can alter the original informative data flux [28]- [30].…”

“…However, there are a number of systems designed to use a single remote proxy for customizing the Web, with communication initiated through the browser's proxy mechanism. This includes image and video filtering, HTTP request modifications, HTML filtering, user interface improvements especially for small screens, remote caching, and support for disconnected operation and user-selected background retrieval [4,8,5,6,13]. Other systems have made use of the two-proxy (local and remote) concept, for such customizations as filtering, prefetching and intelligent cache management at the local proxy [13,14].…”

“…The primary focus of existing research is on the development of protocols and techniques that deal with disconnection management, low bandwidth, and device resource constraints. The aim is to allow applications built for the wired world (e.g., World Wide Web and databases) to run in wireless domains using proxy-based approaches ( [2], [22]). In systems based on the cellular infrastructure or WLANs, the traditional client-proxy-server interaction is perhaps an appropriate model where the "client" database can be extremely lightweight [4], has a (partial) replica of the main database on the wired side [19], [34], or where selected data is continuously broadcast into the environment [1], [16].…”
