MJPEG Streaming Protocol

MJPEG is a popular format for webcam streams. It's probably popular because it's so simple to do and the performance is surprisingly good. Unfortunately, I found it quite difficult to scrape together enough information to implement a streamer myself. In an effort to help the next poor, frustrated soul, here's a simple method for streaming an MJPEG to a socket in Java.

public void handleConnection(Socket socket, JpegProvider jpegProvider) throws Exception {
  byte[] data = jpegProvider.getJpeg();
  OutputStream outputStream = socket.getOutputStream();
  outputStream.write((
      "HTTP/1.0 200 OK\r\n" +
      "Server: YourServerName\r\n" +
      "Connection: close\r\n" +
      "Max-Age: 0\r\n" +
      "Expires: 0\r\n" +
      "Cache-Control: no-cache, private\r\n" + 
      "Pragma: no-cache\r\n" + 
      "Content-Type: multipart/x-mixed-replace; " +
      "boundary=--BoundaryString\r\n\r\n").getBytes());
  while (true) {
    data = jpegProvider.getJpeg();
    outputStream.write((
        "--BoundaryString\r\n" +
        "Content-type: image/jpg\r\n". +
        "Content-Length: " +
        data.length +
        "\r\n\r\n").getBytes());
    outputStream.write(data);
    outputStream.write("\r\n\r\n".getBytes());
    outputStream.flush();
  }
}
