send video over http (HTTP multipart request?)

Is there any way sending video (binary data) over HTTP? I read that HTTP multipart request is used for that.

The problem is that when the client starts sending the clip, it doesn't have the entire video yet (still been captured by the camera). The client sends frame by frame.

Does multipart request is good for sending video before all clip is available?

Thanks.

  • What you are looking for is a streamable container format. The most popular today are Apples HTTP Live Streaming, and fragmented mp4 (usually called DASH)
