Do you need more on this?

I would like to know what kind of backend is the http one?, is something that you custom made or an already open solution, also it would be awesome if you could update the example to be used with the latest version of the api. Thank you!

It's a custom HTTP based protocol I made that lets you do simple file manipulation using PUT, GET, DELETE, PATCH with HTTP range requests. The storage backend has changed quite a bit since this issue was first opened. Do you specifically need an example with HTTP or do you just want to write your own piece-based storage backend?

On how to write and read the pieces.

Take a look at one of the in ./storage. There's file, mmap, pieceBased, and bolt backends now. The bolt one is probably pretty good for an all-in-one implementation.
