Dynamic content presentation for web browsing
A method, product, and system comprising: rendering a webpage, said rendering comprises generating a HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) packet to request the webpage from a server, the HTTP packet is absent of referral information in a referrer field, said rendering comprises communicating the HTTP packet to the server; obtaining from a user a first command to return from the webpage to a previous page, the previous page was rendered immediately before said rendering the webpage; based on the referrer field, dynamically modifying the webpage to present content of a publisher of the webpage instead of returning to the previous page; and in response to obtaining from the user a second command to return to the previous page, navigating to the previous page.
1. A method comprising:
rendering a webpage, said rendering comprises generating a HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) packet to request the webpage from a server, the HTTP packet is absent of referral information in a referrer field, said rendering comprises communicating the HTTP packet to the server;
obtaining from a user a first command to return from the webpage to a previous page, the previous page was rendered immediately before said rendering the webpage;
in response to the first command, dynamically presenting new content of a publisher of the webpage, wherein said dynamically presenting is performed instead of returning to the previous page as commanded by the first command, wherein the new content is different from content of the webpage, wherein said dynamically presenting is performed based on the referrer field; and
in response to obtaining from the user a second command to return to the previous page, navigating to the previous page.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the new content comprises a feed of the publisher.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the new content comprises an intermediate page that the user did not visit before said rendering the webpage.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein said dynamically presenting new content is performed based on determining that the referrer field of the HTTP packet has no valid referral information.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first and second commands comprise a user selection of a “back” button.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein said rendering is performed by a web browser.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the web browser is an in-app browser.
8. The method of claim 6 , wherein said dynamically presenting is performed based on a manipulation of a browsing history mechanism of the web browser, the manipulation of the browsing history mechanism includes an insertion of an item not previously browsed to by the web browser, into the browsing history mechanism.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein said dynamically presenting comprises executing code that is embedded in the webpage, the code is obtained from a second server different from the server.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein said rendering is performed in response to a user selection of a link to the webpage, the link is presented within the previous page, the user selection of the link comprises an interaction of the user with a user interface of the previous page, whereby the previous page is rendered immediately before said rendering the webpage.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the link comprises a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of the webpage.
12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the publisher of the webpage is different from a second publisher of the previous page.
13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the referrer field comprises a Referrer request header.
14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the server is configured to obtain the HTTP packet, and to provide, in response to the HTTP packet, at least a portion of the webpage.
15. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium retaining program instructions, which program instructions when read by a processor, cause the processor to:
render a webpage, said rendering comprises generating a HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) packet to request the webpage from a server, the HTTP packet is absent of referral information in a referrer field, said rendering comprises communicating the HTTP packet to the server;
obtain from a user a first command to return from the webpage to a previous page, the previous page was rendered immediately before said rendering the webpage;
in response to the first command, dynamically present new content of a publisher of the webpage, wherein said dynamically present is performed instead of returning to the previous page as commanded by the first command, wherein the new content is different from content of the webpage, wherein said dynamically present is performed based on the referrer field; and
in response to obtaining from the user a second command to return to the previous page, navigate to the previous page.
16. The computer program product of claim 15 , wherein the new content comprises a feed of the publisher.
17. The computer program product of claim 15 , wherein the new content comprises an intermediate page that the user did not visit before said rendering the webpage.
18. The computer program product of claim 15 , wherein said dynamically presenting the new content is performed based on determining that the referrer field of the HTTP packet has no valid referral information.
19. The computer program product of claim 15 , wherein said rendering is performed by a web browser, wherein said dynamically presenting is performed based on a manipulation of a browsing history mechanism of the web browser, the manipulation of the browsing history mechanism includes an insertion of an item not previously browsed to by the web browser, into the browsing history mechanism.
20. A system comprising a processor and coupled memory, the processor being adapted to:
render a webpage, said rendering comprises generating a HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) packet to request the webpage from a server, the HTTP packet is absent of referral information in a referrer field, said rendering comprises communicating the HTTP packet to the server;
obtain from a user a first command to return from the webpage to a previous page, the previous page was rendered immediately before said rendering the webpage;
in response to the first command, dynamically present new content of a publisher of the webpage, wherein said dynamically present is performed instead of returning to the previous page as commanded by the first command, wherein the new content is different from content of the webpage, wherein said dynamically present is performed based on the referrer field; and
in response to obtaining from the user a second command to return to the previous page, navigate to the previous page.
