Thanks for the tips.
I did find the HTTPFS
http://okmij.org/ftp/HTTP-VFS.html
which may be what I am looking for.
Has anyone used this before ?
Before I try an hack the code, it would be helpful for me to get any feedback from someone who may have used this before :-)
Anyway, my eventual goal is to comeup with a filesystem that allows me to read/write from a smartcard.
There is an existing implementation called SCFS which I looked at a while ago, but it was for Unix. I dont think the FS related stuff there would work for Linux.
Thanks Shahed.
