Abstract
The described implementations provide arrangements and procedures to manage information pulls. To request data from another program or computer is termed a “pull”. Specifically, a registration scheduling data pulls from a data feed is received from a first object. In one implementation, the data feed is specified with a Universal Resource Identifiers (URIs). A URI is a generic term for all types of names and addresses that refer to source content. The registration further indicates a second object to receive and cache the data downloads on behalf of the first object. Responsive to receiving the registration, data downloads from the data feed are provided to the second object. In one implementation, the second object customizes the data downloads to specific data format(s) and/or structures for subsequent access by the first object.
