Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for communicating large amounts of data. A system can first receive a request for data and determines if the data requested is above a threshold size. If the data is above the threshold size, the system can then prepare a message containing header information following a standard file transfer protocol. The system can also prepare metadata indicating a storage location and a size of the data requested. The message and the metadata can then be separately communicated to the requester. Upon receiving the metadata, a data stream can initiate the transfer of the data from the storage location to the requester, where the data stream removes unnecessary or redundant header information during the transfer from the storage location.
