** Given that HTTP is largely a stream pump on top of a pipe, shouldn't this be much easier to do, by just exposing the input end more directly?


* Support unicode file paths.  This impacts the way we encode file URLs.  Currently, we encode them in the "native filesystem charset" and then %-escape any non-ASCII bytes.  This is not going to work if we wish to support full unicode file paths because the conversion from unicode to "native filesystem charset" may be lossy.
