Abstract
The present invention extends a standard HTML browser to support a new data type, the Uniform Resource Locator Sequence (URLS). The URLS consists of a header and a sequence of URLs. The method of the present invention receives the URLS data then sequentially accesses the data of each URL comprising the URLS, obtains statistics on the response time to the requests for URLs, and times the calls for subsequent URLs in the sequence accordingly so that the arrival of the linked data nearly simulates actual streaming.
