Abstract

To handle web server failures, a client comprises a health monitor for monitoring the status of the web server, the client being an originator of requests for web pages from the web server. The health monitor receives status information for the web server. If the health monitor determines that the web server has failed, the health monitor redirects requests for web pages hosted by the failed web server to another web server that is working.
