Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: obtaining a data stream of encrypted content at a computing device; receiving a request from a consuming application for header information to facilitate set-up of graphics processing for the data stream; parsing headers corresponding to the request to validate the headers and ascertain types of data associated with the headers; identifying portions of the headers as pertinent to the request and portions of the headers as non-pertinent to the request to provide to the consuming application in response to the request based on the parsing; forming partial headers by decoding and extracting both the portions of the headers identified as pertinent and one or more of the portions of the headers identified as non-pertinent effective to make the extraction lossy, the partial headers being a sub-set of the headers and sufficient for the consuming application to set-up the graphics processing for the data stream while not enabling reconstruction of the headers; and generating a response to the request configured to include the partial headers for communication to the consuming application.
