A method and system for dynamically varying intermediation functions in a
communication path between a content server and a client station. An
intermediation system within the communication path receives an HTTP
message and detects an intermediation-variance instruction within the
message. In response, the intermediation system varies a default set of
intermediation logic, such as by removing, changing or adding one or more
intermediation triggers and/or intermediation actions. In turn, the
intermediation system applies the variant intermediation logic in
response to the HTTP message and/or in response to subsequent HTTP
messages.
