Solution

split_store

computes the size and the number of chunks
stores a file filename_ in the http server, containing the number of chunks and the size of the file
consecutively store filename_i where i is 0 indexed index of the chunk, stores in tcp if i is even and http if i is odd.

split_fetch

First fetches the metadata file from the http server,
Follows the same algorithtm while taking even chunks from tcp and odd from http

Improvements made

Added threading so that sends to http server, tcp server parallelly
Was creating temporary files in disk for sending to http server, removed this to reduce disk i/o (increase performance)

Scope for improvement

Add encryption to both servers
