SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR STORING REFERENCES TO ORIGINAL UNIFORM RESOURCE IDENTIFIERS

Abstract:

A user is enabled to generate and store a reference, such as a bookmark, to an original URI specified by the user, after the web browser has been redirected to a redirect URI. For example, the web browser may track each of the URIs to which the web browser has redirected after the user provides a URI to the web browser for navigation thereby. The web browser may analyze each of the URIs to determine which of the URIs is the original URI. When a user causes the web browser to generate the bookmark for the web page corresponding to the redirect URI, the determined original URI and/or redirect URI may be associated with the bookmark. The user may be provided an option to select one or both of the determined original URI and the redirect URI to be associated with the bookmark.
