Description
Currently blobs and icons are served via the embedded HTTP server. Goal: serve them over a Unix domain socket and wrap them in a content provider on Android. This would prohibit access to the HTTP server from other apps, and simplify sharing with other apps.
Source: docs/Todos.md.

Research direction

Define how blobs and icons move through a Unix domain socket and content provider, and verify that other apps can no longer access them through the HTTP server while intended sharing still works.
