How to Implement HTTP byte-range requests in Spring MVC

Question

I have the problem with video rewind on my site.

I figure out that problem with http headers.

My current controller method which returns video:

Answer 1

woww, The answer of Leandro so briliant. just create service file follow him and use in controller. here my after follow his guidelines

@RequestMapping(value = [(SKConstant.URL_PROJECT_API + "/video/{token}")], method = arrayOf(RequestMethod.GET)
fun getVideo(@PathVariable("token") token: String, response: HttpServletResponse, request: HttpServletRequest): Any?{
         val file = baseService.getByToken(token)
         if(file != null) {
           return MultipartFileSender.fromFile(File(fileService.getUploadFileRealPath(file.uniqueName!!)))
                              .with(request)
                              .with(response)
                              .serveResource()
 }

Answer 2

Depending on what you're trying to achieve, it may make sense for you to map the request by to the container's default servlet.

I.e., during initialization:

ServletContext container = ...

// Map *.mp4 to the default servlet to support range requests

ServletRegistration servletRegistration = container.getServletRegistration("default");
servletRegistration.addMapping("*.mp4");

The answer of Leandro worked perfectly for me. I only changed the InputStream with a RandomAccessFile, it is performing better to access a random point inside a file.

Here is the class MultipartFileSender

Answer 4

If you want to avoid MimeTypeUtils, you can use Files.probeContentType(Path path). That will use the default implementation of the system.

Answer 5

The request for support for http byte-range was open at the time of this answer but is fixed in Spring 4.2.RC1. Check jira SPR-10805 or, the PR here.

But based on the code that you linked in your question, Davin Kevin built a solution that could work for your request.

Use in Controller:

MultipartFileSender.fromPath(pathtofile)
                .with(httprequest)
                .with(httpresponse)
                .serveResource();

Answer 6

it's 2020 here.

Partial ranges are implemented in Spring by default (I'm using Spring Boot 2.2.4). My controller code looks similar to the one below and it works just fine with range headers.

return ResponseEntity.ok().body(new FileSystemResource(file))

Notes (See The Almighty Source Code for details):

• Spring requires the response to be set to 200 and internally (if range headers are present on the request) replaces it with 206 Partial Content.
• Spring also requires the response to be a Resource instance except InputStreamResource for which it fails. For files FileSystemResource seems to be the best choice.
