    Abstract: In order to distribute content made available by an entity of origin, a first distribution entity receives a request to access the content by a client entity. If this is a first access request received by the first distribution entity for the content, the distribution entity acts as a proxy: it receives, from the entity of origin or from a second distribution entity, and retransmits to the client entity, a response including the content, and it stores the content in a cache. In addition, it transmits, to the entity of origin or to the second distribution entity, a context request, receives in return a response including a description of the execution context of the access request, and stores the description. Otherwise, the first distribution entity uses the previously stored description in order to perform an execution of the later access request.
