Stefan Kalkowski 50d73e7890 block_session: extend interface with sync() call To support components, which implement the block session's server side rpc object, and which doesn't write data to their device backend immediately, an additional synchronization call is needed. Thereby, clients like for instance a file system can tell these components, when a synchronization is required. Ref #113		2013-11-25 12:12:31 +01:00

This directory contains a HTTP client that implements Genode's block session
interface as a front-end. This way you can incorporate arbitrary files via.
HTTP requests and export them as a block device within Genode.
