A Sync: a client implementation for Syncthing-compatible shares

a-sync

This project is an java client implementation of Syncthing protocols (bep, discovery, relay). A-sync is made of several modules, providing:

1. a command line utility for accessing a Syncthing network (ie a network of devices that speak Syncthing protocols)'

2. a service implementation for the 'http-relay' protocol (that proxies 'relay' protocol over an http connection);

3. a client library for Syncthing protocol, that can be used by third-party applications (such as mobile apps) to integrate with Syncthing.

Care is taken to make sure the client library is compatible with android (min sdk 19), so it can be used for the a-sync-browser project.

NOTE: this is a client-oriented implementation, designed to work online by downloading and uploading files from an active device on the network (instead of synchronizing a local copy of the entire repository). This is quite different from the way the original Syncthing app works, and its useful from those implementations that cannot or wish not to download the entire repository (for example, mobile devices with limited storage available, wishing to access a syncthing share).
