Possible use for memcache?

[Brad Fitzpatrick]

I did make it work with FUSE, a long time ago.  It's bitrot and I lost it.
Do it yourself.. it's easy.

But I think you're confused about how "heavy" HTTP is.  Look:

   GET /some-file HTTP/1.0\r\n
   \r\n

Holy shit!  That's it!

Then you get the data sendfile(2)'d back to you after this huge header:

  HTTP/1.1 200 OK
  Content-Length: 23983

  <data>

Man, that's heavy.
