Abstract: In this work we propose a lightweight scheme for negotiating client's capabilities in the context of end-end content adaptation for wireless web access. Our method is much less complex then W3C's proposed CC/PP framework. We suggest that for the purposes of content negotiation all (mobile) clients could be grouped into a few relatively large categories. With this assumption we simplify the CC/PP protocol and implement it as an Apache module. This paper describes the simple CC/PP protocol, issues related to its implementation, and performance measurements.
