System and method for time-sensitive URI mapping
View Patent ↗A system, method, and computer program for supporting legacy URIs. A method includes receiving a request for a uniform resource identifier and initializing the request with at least an expiration identifier. The expiration identifier is one of a date, NOW, and NEVER. The method also include determining a redirection type based on a current date. If the current date is less than the expiration identifier or equal to NEVER, then use a meta tag redirect; and if the current date is greater than or equal to said expiration identifier or equal to NOW, then use a status code redirect. The method also includes mapping the URI to a redirect-URI. Corresponding systems and computer-readable instructions are also discussed.
1. A method of supporting legacy URIs, comprising the steps of:
receiving a request for a data in a data processing system;
initializing said request with at least an expiration identifier by the data processing system, wherein said expiration identifier is a special format;
determining, by the data processing system, a redirection type based on a current date, comprising the steps of
if said current date is less than said expiration identifier, then use a meta tag redirect; and
if said current date is greater than or equal to said expiration identifier, then use a status code redirect;
mapping said URI to a redirect-URI by the data processing system according to the determined redirection type.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said data is in the form of a uniform resource identifier.
3. A method of supporting legacy URIs, comprising the steps of:
receiving a request for a data in a data processing system;
initializing said request with at least an expiration identifier by the data processing system;
determining a redirection type by the data processing system based on a special format, comprising the steps of:
if said special format is NOW, then use a status code redirect; and
if said special format is NEVER, then use a meta tag redirect; and
mapping said URI to a redirect-URI by the data processing system according to the determined redirection type.
4. A method of supporting legacy URIs, comprising the steps of:
receiving a request for a uniform resource identifier in a data processing system;
initializing said request, by the data processing system, with at least an expiration identifier, wherein said expiration identifier is one of a date, NOW, and NEVER;
determining, by the data processing system, a redirection type based on a current date, comprising the steps of
if said current date is less than said expiration identifier or equal to NEVER, then use a meta tag redirect; and
if said current date is greater than or equal to said expiration identifier or equal to NOW, then use a status code redirect;
mapping, by the data processing system, said URI to a redirect-URI according to the determined redirection type.
5. A method of supporting legacy resource locations, comprising the steps of:
initializing, in a data processing system, a request for a resource location with at least an expiration identifier, wherein said expiration identifier is a special format;
determining, by the data processing system, a redirection type based on a criteria, comprising the steps of;
if said criteria is less than said expiration, then use a first redirect type; and
if said criteria is greater than or equal to said expiration, then use a second redirect type; and
mapping, by the data processing system, said resource location to a redirect resource location according to the determined redirection type.
6. A non-transitory machine readable medium encoded with computer-executable instructions that, when executed, cause a data processing system to perform a method of supporting legacy URIs, comprising:
receiving a request for a data;
initializing said request with at least an expiration identifier, wherein said expiration identifier is a special format;
determining a redirection type based on a current date, comprising:
if said current date is less than said expiration identifier, then use a meta tag redirect; and
if said current date is greater than or equal to said expiration identifier, then use a status code redirect;
mapping said URI to a redirect-URI according to the determined redirection type.
7. The machine readable medium of claim 6 , wherein said data is in the form of a uniform resource identifier.
8. A non-transitory machine readable medium encoded with computer-executable instructions that, when executed, cause a data processing system to perform a method of supporting legacy URIs, comprising:
receiving a request for a data;
initializing said request with at least an expiration identifier;
the step of determining a redirection type based on a special format, comprising:
if said special format is NOW, then use a status code redirect; and
if said special format is NEVER, then use a meta tag redirect; and
mapping said URI to a redirect-URI according to the determined redirection type.
9. A non-transitory machine readable medium encoded with computer-executable instructions that, when executed, cause a data processing system to perform a method of supporting legacy URIs, comprising:
receiving a request for a uniform resource identifier;
initializing said request with at least an expiration identifier, wherein said expiration identifier is one of a date, NOW, and NEVER;
determining a redirection type based on a current date, comprising:
if said current date is less than said expiration identifier or equal to NEVER, then use a meta tag redirect; and
if said current date is greater than or equal to said expiration identifier or equal to NOW, then use a status code redirect;
mapping said URI to a redirect-URI according to the determined redirection type.
10. A non-transitory machine readable medium encoded with computer-executable instructions that, when executed, cause a data processing system to perform a method of supporting legacy resource locations, comprising:
initializing a request for a resource location with at least an expiration identifier, wherein said expiration identifier is a special format;
determining a redirection type based on a criteria, comprising:
if said criteria is less than said expiration, then use a first redirect type; and
if said criteria is greater than or equal to said expiration, then use a second redirect type; and
mapping said resource location to a redirect resource location according to the determined redirection type.
11. A data processing system comprising: a processor and accessible memory, wherein the data processing system is to implement a method for supporting legacy resource locations by performing the steps of:
receiving a request for a data;
initializing said request with at least an expiration identifier, wherein said expiration identifier is a special format;
determining a redirection type based on a current date, comprising the steps of
if said current date is less than said expiration identifier, then use a meta tag redirect; and
if said current date is greater than or equal to said expiration identifier, then use a status code redirect;
mapping said URI to a redirect-URI according to the determined redirection type.
