The present invention provides a manner for providing Web crawlers capable
of efficiently accessing Web content not accessible via static
hyperlinks. Log files are maintained of communications between a Web
browser and a Web server resulting from real user accesses to the content
associated with dynamic hyperlinks. These log files represent past user's
accesses to the content and are used to generate Web crawler accesses.
This approach allows a crawler to accurately mimic real users, resulting
in a capability of the crawler to automatically access all the content
that real users would have access to.
