I'm planning on creating an simple HTTP file transferring server which would sync the data inside a folder between an android tablet and pc. I have recently come to know that Libevent support HTTP apis. Is what I'm planning achievable? Any insights are appreciated.

What do you mean by "HTTP server which would sync the data inside a folder between a android tablet and pc". Do you want to sync folder between devices using HTTP protocol? – Pawel Zubrycki Aug 13 '12 at 10:26

don't reinvent the wheel... either use git for small files or rsync for big files, tunneled in ssh to sync between the devices. – zmo Aug 13 '12 at 11:57

@Zmo: rsyn was my first choice but since I want this app to be platform independent and free of commercial implementation of rsync and the likes , also this application will be used for media file ( thus there is no need for rsync's delta compression). So rsync does not seem to fit properly. I did not consider git or ssh :P – Vihaan Verma Aug 13 '12 at 14:58

@ZMO: The other device may be a tablet or cell phone as well ! – Vihaan Verma Aug 13 '12 at 15:27

for media files, forget about git, but using scp can fit fine. If you plan to work with an android tablet of cellphone, it may be possible to use them. (I hope without rooting the device) – zmo Aug 13 '12 at 15:30
