Description

(I'm not sure if I'm using the right JNode terminology here ...)

In the same way that we can (in theory at least) mount remote NFS and SMB file systems, we should be able to mount HTTP/HTTPS and WebDAV hosts as JNode file systems. In the HTTP/HTTPS case, there will be limits on what a user can do via the JNode-mapped file system; e.g. creating directories cannot work.

Here comes a clear and definete -NO- to the HTTP/HTTPS part of it.
That time could be much better spent on making a real filesystem fast, stable and tooled enough for confortably installing JNode on it.

Fair enough.
