Abstract

A browser functionality is split between a wireless client (122) and an infrastructure portion (102) of a wireless communication system. The infrastructure portion sends (412) to the wireless client a response from a server (124) to an earlier request originated (404) by the wireless client, the response modified by the infrastructure portion to comprise a placeholder for an additional data element needed to complete the response. Without a need for a further request from the wireless client, the infrastructure portion then originates (414) a request to the server for the additional data element and forwards (418) the additional data element to the wireless client when received from the server.
