Apparatus and method for predicted response generation

A method and apparatus are provided for generation of predicted responses in a computer communications network system. A server in the computer communications network system predicts the client's next request based on the present client's request. The server sets a trigger that recognizes a match of the client's predicted request. When a client's predicted request arrives, the trigger sends the response. Additionally, the server associates a timeout action with the predicted response so that if a predicted request is not received within the timeout interval or other events occur before the predicted request arrives, the triggered response is removed and an alternative action is performed.\!
