Abstract

Disclosed are methods and systems for processing a file request, such as a URL request for a web page. A computer system, such as a proxy server, receives a request from a client computer for a file at a file path location, such as a Universe Resource Locator (URL), in a network. A request attribute associated with the request from the processing system is determined. Rule information indicating at least one substitute file, e.g., web page, and an attribute associated with each substitute file is processed to determine whether the determined request attribute matches an attribute associated with one substitute file. The substitute file associated with the attribute that matches the request attribute is retrieved after determining that the request attribute matches the attribute associated with the substitute file. The retrieved substitute file is then returned to the processing system via the network. The substitute file may include advertisements or any other information that is presented to the client computer based on various attributes of the request.
