The explosive growth of the network, end-host performances and their heterogeneities have resulted ever changing advancement and complexity of distributed computing environments. The users in such environment have not been provided a satisfactory service when they access the required objects. In this paper we focus on adaptive WWW content delivery, which is the most ubiquitous and popular way of information dissemination, primarily in the form of web-server, web-browser interaction. In these applications, we address controlling the Quality of delivery and time of access tradeoff of the WWW contents. We implement this as a httpa protocol, which is an adaptivetranscoding methodology for embedded images in web pages, according to available channel bandwidth and other accessibility parameters at the client side. Compared to the conventional form of server side adaptive content delivery proposed in the literature, we propose a hybrid form of adaptation: client side progressive parameter estimation and server side transcoding of images, which is more scalable and flexible. Through experimental results we verify the performance of httpa.
