Abstract
A technique for providing information via a data network is disclosed. A first server transmits an identifier to a client, where the identifier is mappable to a uniform resource locator (URL) associated with content stored on a second server. The client transmits the identifier to a second server. The second server maps the identifier to its associated URL, retrieves the content associated with the URL, and transmits the content to the client. Various types of mappings are disclosed, including encryption and predetermined mappings.
