Abstract
A method is described that is executed by a computer system implementing a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) to enable serving media files by streaming over HTTP. The method is constructed to enable serving media files that are segmented from multiple sources using switch access points defined in a switch access point (SAP) file. The SAP files define transition points in the serving of the media files between different media file sources. The method includes a set of steps such as determining a media meta file or media segment files for a SAP file. The requested media meta file or media segment files are sent to the client. A request for a SAP file is then received from the client. The SAP file request is redirected to a second HTTP server in response to the SAP file indicating the next media segment file identified by the SAP file is not local.
