=======

Filesystem which allows you to treat any http accessible file as local.

Dependencies

------------

g++

libfuse-dev

Compiling

---------

Just run make.

Usage

-----

Mount:

    ./cloudfs directory

Add some files:

    ln -s URL directory/filename

Have fun!

    cat directory/foo.txt

    mplayer directory/bar.mp3

Features

--------

* You can add files without remounting

* You don't need anything special to add files (just ln)

* Sufficient to play 720p videos on good connections

* Files are seekable (in most cases)

Limitations (for now)

---------------------

* Non-optimal implementation (new connection is made for every read)

* No support for directories

* Connections can't be redirected by server

* Files can't be deleted

* Missing HTTPS support

* Doesn't time-out (if application tries to read and server is not responding, application hangs)

* Everything is owned by root and public (444)

* ln complains about Input/output error. (this is not problem, just little bit annoying)

* Poorly documented
