===========================

The internal library of Kurento Repository provides an API that can
be used to manage media repositories based on filesystem or MongoDB.

The chosen transport for the media is the HTTP protocol. The repository 
API will provide managed URIs which the application or Kurento Media 
Server can use to upload or download media. This API can be configured
and instantiated as a [Spring] bean.
