1. A method for managing on a client a difference between a rate of consumption of responses received from a server and a rate of production of requests transmitted to the server, the method comprising the steps of: (a) intercepting, by an acceleration program on the client, a request by an application to access a server, the acceleration program communicating with the server on behalf of the application via a transport layer connection; (b) determining, by the acceleration program, a difference between a rate of consumption of received server responses and a rate of production of requests transmitted by the client falls below a predetermined threshold; and (c) storing, by the acceleration program, the request in a memory element of the client.
