Another possible solution is using httpfs, which is just a FUSE-based filesystem. It runs in userspace, but requires FUSE, compared to uloop, which is a kernel driver. Search google for httpfs, it's old, but works too. You'll have to patch it manually and add "Connection: Keep-Alive" header to it, in order to get better performance.
