- pedrocr 9y agoIt doesn't have much to do with the gif/jpg formats though, it works with anything. It's just a multipart HTTP response that keeps sending entire new files to replace the previous one. It's not even a jpeg/gif encoding of the differences between frames which would be much more efficient.
