Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for streaming a video. One method includes an operation for initializing, at a client device, a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) server for processing streaming video requests from a streaming video application. Further; the method includes an operation for receiving a bundle that includes bundle files, which include manifest files of a manifest for streaming a video and video files having video data. The method further includes operations for caching the bundle files in memory, and for intercepting, at the HTTP server, a request for a file from the streaming video application. When the file is cached in the memory, the file is returned from the memory; otherwise, the HTTP server acts as a proxy by forwarding the request to a video server and then returning the file to the streaming video application after the file is received from the remote server.
