METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROCESSING A UNIFORM RESOURCE LOCATOR

The present disclosure provides a computer-implemented method of processing a Uniform Resource Locator (URL). The method includes generating a plurality of lattice nodes based on a URL, wherein each of the plurality of lattice nodes includes a host component corresponding to a portion of the URL and a path component corresponding to a portion of the URL. The method also includes identifying one of the plurality of lattice nodes as a search node. The method also includes searching a pattern table database using the search node to find a matching pattern table entry, the pattern table database comprising a plurality of pattern table entries corresponding to known lattice nodes associated with previously encountered URLs. The method also includes processing the URL based on whether the matching pattern table entry was found in the pattern table database.
