HTTP REQUEST TRANSMISSION METHOD AND DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17782157 titled 'HTTP REQUEST TRANSMISSION METHOD AND DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method and device for transmitting hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) requests. The problem addressed is that dividing an original HTTP request into multiple requests to pull data from different content distribution network (CDN) servers can result in inconsistent data.

  • The method involves designing an overlapping range for byte ranges allocated to different CDN servers when downloading data from multiple servers.
  • The electronic device then downloads data in the overlapping range from all the different CDN servers to check the consistency of the pulled data.
  • If the data is consistent, the device can splice the data to obtain the required final data.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Content delivery networks (CDNs) can use this method to ensure consistent data retrieval from multiple servers.
  • Web browsers and other electronic devices can employ this method to improve the reliability of data obtained from CDNs.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Inconsistent data obtained from different CDN servers when dividing an HTTP request into multiple requests.
  • Ensuring the validity and consistency of data obtained from CDNs.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved reliability and consistency of data obtained from CDNs.
  • Enhanced performance and efficiency in retrieving data from multiple servers.
  • Reduction in data inconsistencies and errors.


Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed are a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) request transmission method and device. The HTTP request transmission method and device resolve a problem that data finally obtained through splicing is invalid because dividing an original HTTP request into a plurality of HTTP requests to pull data from different content distribution network (CDN) servers may cause inconsistency of the pulled data. When an electronic device needs to download data from a plurality of CDN servers, an overlapping range may be designed for byte ranges allocated to the different CDN servers. This means that the electronic device downloads data in the overlapping range from all the different CDN servers. Therefore, this part of data is used to check consistency of the data pulled from the different CDN servers. When determining that the data pulled from the different CDN servers is consistent, the electronic device may splice the data to obtain finally required data.
