1. A computer-implemented method for processing network commands, the method comprising:
receiving, by a proxy server machine, a first request from a client device that is separate from the proxy server machine;
determining, by the proxy server machine, that the first request includes a header portion indicating that a response to the first request can be offloaded from a server machine that is also separate from the proxy server machine; and
in response, transmitting, by the proxy server machine, a first response to the first request to the client device indicating that the server machine has successfully processed the first request.
