Abstract
The present invention provides an apparatus and method for accessing request header information used to transcode servlet output. The apparatus and method of the present invention includes a preamble that stores request header information from a request sent by a client device. The request header information is then provided to the transcoder along with the generated content data. The transcoder then performs appropriate transcoding on the generated content data based on the request header information supplied by the preamble. The transcoded content data is then sent to the client device. In this way, the client device is able to obtain content from a much larger set of content sources than with conventional systems.
