An apparatus and a method for requesting data from a server over an HTTP connection. In one embodiment, a client reads a portion of a random access file from the server via the HTTP connection. The client requests for a limited amount of data at another location in the file on the same HTTP connection. The client receives the limited amount of data from the server on the same HTTP connection and reads the limited amount of data. The client requests for an additional limited amount of data at another location in the file on the same HTTP connection. The size of the additional limited amount of data is exponentially greater than the size of the limited amount of data. In another embodiment, the client requests for an additional limited amount of data at another location in the file on the same HTTP connection prior to finishing reading the limited amount of data.
