Network: Download the video with a HTTP requests

[Aniketh01]

Instead of directly downloading the video entirely over TCP, we can try via an HTTP request and response pair.

A simple approach can be:

• send an HTTP GET request from the client to the server requesting for the file. Look upon setting HTTP headers for the request as well.
• Server checks if that file is present in the server or not.
  • If yes, the server sends the file as response with its associated headers.
  • If not, the server signals the client that the file is not present.

This is just my view on how this could be designed, feel free to add your perspective into the context :).

This could be just a start, you could then look into chucked downloading etc
