Abstract
A system for generating message headers where previously saved message headers are retrieved from memory when needed to satisfy a message header requirement. Message headers are comprised of segments where each message header segment has a different lifetime. In particular, a file-object response message header includes a header segment containing information linked to the requested file-object. This file-object linked header segment is retrieved when needed from a file-object header cache. A file-object response message header includes other segments such as one containing time-variant global information and time-invariant global information. Building header messages from multiple segments retrieved from their respective cache memories saves significant processing time as compared to generating a new message header each time a header is required by operation of a network server application.
