A server-side mechanism together with an optional client-side decompression process enhance server content delivery. The server-side mechanism preferably comprises a pair of processes: a daemon process and a servlet process. The daemon process recursively compresses directories of content (HTML, graphics files, and the like) while instances of the servlet process, in parallel, serve content. When a target directory is completely compressed, the files which previously existed in an uncompressed state are either archived or deleted. The servlet process interprets the compressed objects, resolving the connection between the client and server, and serves out the requested content. If the request originates from a client that is not enabled to decompress files, the servlet decompresses the requested files on-the-fly. When supported on a given client machine, the client process decompresses the streaming content for use on the client system.

1. A method for increasing effective delivery of contents supported on a server, comprising the steps of: using a first process operating on the server to compress given content into a compressed file; and as the first process is operating, using a second process operating on the server to respond to client requests for the content wherein the first process is a platform executable and the second process is a Java servlet. 2. A server, comprising: a storage device; a first process for compressing given content into a compressed file and storing the compressed file in the storage device; and a second process operating asynchronously with respect to the first process for responding to client requests for the content wherein the first process is a platform executable and the second is a Java servlet. 3. A server, comprising: a storage device; a first process for compressing given content into a compressed file and storing the compressed file in the storage device; and a second process operating asynchronously with respect to the first process for responding to client request for the content wherein the first process also transcodes content from a first markup language format to a second markup language format. 4. A computer program product in a computer-readable medium, comprising; a first process executable on the server for compressing given content into a compressed filed and storing the compressed file in a storage device; and a second process executable on the server and operating asynchronously with respect to the first process for responding to client request for the content wherein the first process is a platform executable and the second process is a Java servlet. 5.
