Abstract
Disclosed herein is a method and system for providing streaming media to a client device. Specifically, in a streaming media session that is initially ongoing between a content server and a client device via a first proxy server: (i) the first proxy server may determine that an interruption in the streaming media session is going to occur and responsively (a) send a transfer request to the client device and (b) send session information to a second proxy server, the session information comprising information identifying the streaming media session and a progress indicator that indicates a current status of the streaming media session, and (ii) after the transfer request and the session information is sent, continuing the streaming media session via the second proxy server. The second proxy server uses the progress indicator as a basis to continue the streaming media session with the client device.
