Abstract
An apparatus and a method for requesting data from a server. In one embodiment, a client opens a first HTTP connection and a second HTTP connection with the server. The client requests for data from a random access file from the server with the first HTTP connection. The client receives and reads the data while maintaining the second HTTP connection open. The client requests for additional data at another location in the file on the second HTTP connection. The client maintains the second HTTP connection by occasionally sending requests to the server on the second HTTP connection.
