                                                       The Rejections on Appeal                                                              
                        Claims 9, 16, 17, 22, 23, and 25 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being                                       
                unpatentable for obviousness over Barrett.                                                                                   
                        Claims 11-15 and 29 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable for                                   
                obviousness over Barrett and Hirai.                                                                                          
                        Claims 24 and 26 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) as being anticipated by Barrett.                            
                        The independent claims are claims 9, 22 and 24.  Claims 11-17 and 29 each depend,                                    
                either directly or indirectly, from independent claim 9.  Each of claims 23 and 25 depends from                              
                claim 22, and claim 26 depends from claim 24.                                                                                
                                                              The Invention                                                                  
                        In a network environment having at least two platforms, the invention is directed to                                 
                producing or parsing a list of Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) and prefetching one or more of                               
                the URLs to a remote proxy server or platform.  Independent claims 9, 22 and 24 are reproduced                               
                below:                                                                                                                       
                                 9.     A method of using a network connection between a client platform                                     
                        and a server platform comprising:                                                                                    
                                         producing on one of the platforms a list of Uniform                                                 
                                 Resource Locators (URLs) from a requested network page, said                                                
                                 list comprising links in said requested network page; and                                                   
                                         pre-fetching via said connection at least one of said URLs                                          
                                 to a remote proxy server.                                                                                   



                                                                     2
