Send large files over HTTP requests

Viewed 1246

I searched for, "Transfer large file in Java" and got myriad results centered around the use of Sockets to achieve the same except the constraint in my case is to use a HTTP request purely to achieve the same.

Is there any way I can send a large file over HTTP to the server so that even if the Network connection breaks, I am able to resume sending the file the next time.

Is there any technique to achieve the same...perhaps something in the HTTP spec itself. If not, I am ready to do take manual approach too whatsoever.


EDIT: In response to question being too broad, I would like to state that I want to accomplish the same on Android(Java) and PHP(server side)
