A method, system, and computer-readable medium is described that provides
one or more types of services and/or information in response to an
information request or other message that specifies a unique identifier
of a defined type. The information requests can include requests for
resources corresponding to specified URLs with domain names that include
a unique identifier, and if so the service or information provided can be
based on the defined type of the identifier and/or on an item
corresponding to the unique identifier. Additional information included
in header fields of HTTP messages used for such URL requests can also be
used to determine services or information to be provided, either instead
of or in addition to the specified domain name identifier. In addition,
services and information can be provided for a requested URL that
includes a domain name that has not been explicitly registered with the
DNS name server computers.
