  • getPublicAddress: Get a url good for being passed to another device on the same LAN

FileProxy: Streams whichever file is referenced in the url. Can handle partial requests.

BufferProxy: Streams a file which is being concurrently downloaded. Takes a BufferProgress object to determine when the file is finished downloading. This is useful for serving a song to a MediaPlayer which is still being downloaded. Can only handle one at a time.

BufferFile: Interface to be implemented, which is queried to get various information about the file being downloaded

  • getFile: Return the file which is being buffered
  • getContentLength: The content length which is passed as a header. ONLY set if you absolutely know for certain the end size of the file
