It would be nice to have a webfs server.  I know the hardest part of a web
browser is the html display, but to have something that would let you do

        echo 'http://www.sciencemag.org/' > /mnt/web/get
        cat /mnt/web/data
or
        echo 'http://bmj.com/cgi/reprint/320/7251/1713.pdf' > /mnt/web/get
        if ( ~ 'application/pdf' `{cat /mnt/web/header/Content-type})
        {
                pdfview /mnt/web/data
        }

and so on.  It would make using existing tools simple, and could
be hooked into plumber.
