  • Proxy server streaming a resource to multiple requesting client devices while the resource is being received at the proxy server
    Patent number: 10348851
    Abstract: A first server receives a request for a file from a first client device. The first server determines that the file is not fully available in a cache that is available to the first server and receives at least a portion of the file from a second server. While the file is being received, the first server writes data of the file to a temporary cache file as it is being received; streams the file to the first client device from the temporary cache file; receives a request for the file from a second client device; and streams the file to the second client device from the temporary cache file without waiting for the requested file to be fully received at the first server and without transmitting an additional request for the file to the second server.
