Well, what about:

    $ python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8181

which will server the current directory via HTTP?

Do you want something even simpler? Hehe! ;-)

Well, I was thinking of this, too, but I really wonder if that makes
sense: archives are copied from the primary, so you'd end up with
duplication locally.

Unless we're playing it smart and make symlinks.

But then what would happen if the archive disapear from primary?
