Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0244962A1] The invention relates to the control of billing in a communications network. In order to achieve the free placement of billing information coupled with a minimum amount of modifications for standard servers, a proxy/gateway is used for detecting the resource requests related to chargeable resources, and for mapping the resource identifier of a chargeable resource, received in a resource request, to a locator referring to the pricing information relating to said chargeable resource. The pricing information is then retrieved from the address indicated by the locator, and the billing is initiated using the information retrieved.
