System and method for communication between networked applications

摘要

During communication of a large data message from a client application to a server application, requirements to communicate smaller control messages can arise. To facilitate timely communication of control messages, a client application may include a chunking module that divides a data message into chunks that can be sent as a sequence of individual data message packets. When a control message needs to be sent, the sequence of data message packets can be interrupted to send a control message packet. At the server application, the sequence of message packets is processed so that data message packets are appended to a data message and control messages are extracted for immediate processing.

1. A method for communication between a client device and a server device, the method comprising:
determining a need in the client device to send a data message from the client device to the server device; dividing the data message into chunks in the client device; sequentially sending the chunks from the client device to the server device; listening for a control message interrupt between Sending chunks; during the sending of the chunks, determining a need to send a control message from the client device to the server device; and in response to determining the need to send the control message, generating a control message interrupt for the control message that interrupts the sending of the chunks; and sending the control message from the client device to the server device between chunks of the data message on the same connection used to send the chunks of the data message.
