Managing data transfer using streaming protocols

A configured computing system, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more modules that are configured to:
• initiate a transmission of data to a remote system using an application layer protocol by streaming the data via a selected underlying transport protocol;
• after a first portion of the transmission of the data has occurred, determine to change to a non-streaming transmission of additional data;
• and
• initiate the transmission of the additional data using the application layer protocol and without using data streaming.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored computer-executable instructions that, when executed, configure a computing system to:

• initiate, by the configured computing system, a transmission of data to a remote system using an application layer protocol by streaming a first subset of the data via a first underlying transport protocol;
• determine, by the configured computing system, to change to a non-streaming transmission of an additional second subset of the data using a distinct second underlying transport protocol;
• and
• initiate, by the configured computing system, the transmission of the additional second subset of the data using the application layer protocol by transmitting the additional second subset of the data via the second underlying transport protocol without using data streaming.

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• receiving, by a configured server computing system, one or more requests from a client system for one or more groups of data, the one or more requests being made using HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP);
• selecting, by the configured server computing system, a streaming protocol to use as an underlying transport protocol for multiple HTTP-based responses to be sent for the received one or more requests, the multiple HTTP-based responses including the one or more groups of data;
• transmitting, by the configured server computing system, at least one of the multiple HTTP-based responses by streaming data for the at least one HTTP-based response to the client system using the selected streaming protocol;
• determining, by the configured server computing system and based at least in part on the transmitting of the at least one HTTP-based response, to change to a different underlying transport protocol for transmitting one or more of the multiple HTTP-based responses without performing data streaming;
• and
• transmitting, by the configured server computing system and in response to the determining, the one or more HTTP-based responses to the client system using the different transport protocol and without streaming data for the one or more HTTP-based responses.
