Interesting. This is exactly what we have been doing to get files transmitted over satellite for many years ;-). Ofcourse the problem there is one of no ACKs or NACKs during the transmission -- they must be batched up and sent via backchannel after the transmission has ended, for retransmit. If this is something that interests you I would suggest looking at protocols like NORM.
Well, I'd want to speak standard HTTP, just like anything else, and I think it would be easy. Doesn't have to get into low-level TCP, as the chunks should be done in such a way that it's like any normal HTTP request. This will alleviate firewall issues, max upload size issues (both webserver and PHP/scripting level limits), etc.
Just want to make sure the client side is memory efficient and doesn't load the entire file into memory to seek byte ranges, for example. Not sure if that can be done or not, or if it's language specific, etc.
But it is a good idea, no? I've been struggling to find any products for a long time, and nothing is out there that doesn't require ugly applets and server configuration changes and/or separate servers etc.
