A communication appliance with a desktop unit and a secondary unit. The desktop unit includes an outer casing, bottom feet, openings in the outer casing for control elements, a plurality of heat-producing electronic components and at least one speaker. The bottom feet extend from a bottom of the outer casing and support the outer casing on a surface such that the bottom of the outer casing is spaced from the surface. The control elements are used for operating the communication appliance. The outer casing includes a plurality of cooling slots for cooling electronic components found in the interior of the communication appliance so that a fan or other external device is not needed.

In embodiments of the invention, a method and apparatus for dynamic proxy insertion in network traffic path is described. According to one or more embodiments of the invention, a request and/or response message may be modified to include one or more thru-proxy tags to identify a network (or traffic) node (e.g., a proxy, server, or intermediary). For example, a request directed to a server or a response directed to a client may be altered to insert a plurality of intermediate or final destination designations. In so doing, a path of a request or response may be altered dynamically. A thru-proxy tag in a response may be inserted in a related request to identify a destination or node such that the request is sent to the destination in the thru-proxy tag before being sent to an origin server. Thru-proxy tags may be used to identify multiple and/or alternate destinations.

A client is given control over the pre-fetching of resources. The client may be, for example, resident on an electronic device such as a computer system that caches resources. The resources may be, for instance, web pages. Identifying property values that are intrinsically tied to the contents of the resources are used to determine whether resources are already resident within the cache prior to pre-fetching the resources. In addition, the client may request information regarding a resource to assist the client in determining whether to pre-fetch the resource. Such information may include the size of the resource and other information.

Methods and systems of the present invention include providing a connection between a first computer and a second computer by receiving, at a third computer, information regarding one of the first and second computers to facilitate establishment of a secure connection between the first computer and the second computer, creating a first end-to-end security link between the first computer and third computer, and creating a second end-to-end security link between the second computer and the third computer to establish the secure connection. The first and second computers could be a client and a server on the Internet, and these methods and systems can, for example, increase the possible number of new secure connections to the server. The third computer also permits processing of information transmitted between the client and server in the third computer. For example, the information could be reformatted or used in testing a process of one of the first and second computers.

A method and apparatus for local advertising. Internet Service Providers (ISPs) or proxies owned by an ISP insert advertisements transmitted from a web host to a client. The advertisement may be stored in the proxy's cache or may be retrieved from a web server for an advertiser. By providing the ISP with the ability to insert the advertisement, advertisements appear on small web sites that do not normally attract advertisers. Additionally, due to the number of advertisements placed by an ISP, small advertisers may have their advertisement appear in connection with frequently used web sites. One or more embodiments of the invention provide for an ISP to collect and store demographic information such as the user's age, residence, credit history, etc. Additionally, stored information may include web sites the user has accessed, time spent on each web site, and any searches performed by the user. The profile information may be utilized by the proxy to conduct targeted advertising and to associate a cost with certain demographic information. The profile information may be evaluated by the ISP for advertisement insertion. Alternatively, the profile information may be forwarded to an advertiser or advertising agency that evaluates and forwards back an advertisement for the proxy to transmit to the user.
