Abstract
A method for caching a piece of content in a content distribution network of a first network, a browser module running on a user terminal and allowing access to content by using encrypted sessions, the browser module being associated with a proxy server of a second network interconnected with the first network, the proxy server controlling a current session status between the browser module and a content provider.
