Chunked http video cache routing

A method comprising:

• loading a video player into a browser, the browser running in a memory of a user system;
• loading, in the video player, a URI of a chunked HTTP video;
• consulting, in the browser, a PAC file, seeing that the URI matches a domain serving video, and making a request to a master cache node as specified by the PAC file;
• loading, in the browser, a Media Presentation Description (MPD) from the master cache node;
• loading, in the master cache node, a MPD from the Internet;
• modifying, in the master cache node, the manifest to point to the appropriate local cache node depending on the browser's IP address, and returning it to the player in the browser;
• and
• parsing, in the player, the manifest and making subsequent requests for media chunks to the re-written URIs, which now point to a local cache node acting as a reverse proxy.
