Communication apparatus capable of communicating with external apparatus, control method for communication apparatus, and storage medium

A control method for a communication apparatus configured to communicate with an external apparatus, the control method comprising:

• connecting to a recording medium on which content data and management information about the content data are recorded;
• reading out, in response to receipt of a request for the management information about the content data from the external apparatus, the management information about the content data from the recording medium and transmitting the read-out management information to the external apparatus, and reading out header information recorded in a header region of the content data and storing the read-out header information,
• in a case where the header information recorded in the header region of the content data is requested from the external apparatus, determining whether the header information was previously read out and stored, and
• if the header information was previously stored, transmitting the stored header information to the external apparatus without reading out the header information anew from the header region of the content data.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer readable instructions that cause a computer to execute a control method for a communication apparatus configured to communicate with an external apparatus, the control method comprising:

• connecting to a recording medium on which content data and management information about the content data are recorded;
• and
• reading out, in response to receipt of a request for the management information about the content data from the external apparatus, the management information about the content data from the recording medium and transmitting the read-out management information to the external apparatus, and reading out header information recorded in a header region of the content data and storing the read-out header information,
• in a case where the header information recorded in the header region of the content data is requested from the external apparatus, determining whether the header information was previously read out and stored, and
• if the header information was previously stored, transmitting the stored header information to the external apparatus without reading out the header information anew from the header region of the content data.
