Abstract

Systems and methods for application and network-based long poll request detection and cacheability assessment therefore are disclosed. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a method, which may be implemented on a distributed proxy and cache system, including, determining relative timings between a first request initiated by the application, a response received responsive to the first request, and a second request initiated subsequent to the first request also by the application. The relative timings can be compared to request-response timing characteristics for other applications to determine whether the requests of the application are long poll requests.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for detecting a long poll request initiated at a mobile device, the method comprising:
detecting a first request initiated by a client on the mobile device;
detecting a second request initiated by the client on the mobile device after a first response is received at the mobile device responsive to the first request;
using a response delay time interval relative to an idle time interval to determine whether requests initiated by the client are lo…
