Multi-part Downloading/Uploading?
Posted: Fri Aug 07, 2009 3:31 pm
Hey all,
I know about Multi-Part Downloading, which is used by all Download Accelerators. If the server allows it, just modification in the request header makes it possible to download multi threaded download using HTTP Multi-part downloading technology.
I was wondering, if we have anything like Multi-Part uploading in HTTP? I mean, a technology, to accelerate file uploads. Some times we may have to upload large files (say to google video, some file hosting sites). We have tons of file hosting sites. popular ones like Rapidshare & Megauploads have their own upload managers, which does upload a file with much more speed than uploading the browser upload. How is this possible? What is technology behind it? Is there any difference in the role of server side PHP script in either of these (browser & upload manager) uploading methods?
I was googling on this, but I didn't get any fruitful results. Please enlighten me on this.
Thank you.
