Abstract
When a first data request having a first identifier and a first request type is received, it may be determined whether the first data request can be processed. The first data request may be processed upon determining that the first data request can be processed. The correspondence between identifiers and request types may be one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-one, or many-to-many relationship. When the first data request can not be processed, a response type having a response method may be selected that may generate a second identifier and/or select a second request type. A second request type may correspond to the first identifier and the second identifier may correspond to the first request type. When a response type is selected, a second data request corresponding to the selected response type may be generated. The second data request may then be processed. A response type may employ a plurality of response methods to access multiple network resources corresponding to any generated and/or selected identifiers and/or request types.
