I stand corrected.  This is really interesting solution.  Thanks for sharing.

You inspired me to look at other FUSE wrappers to mount IETF servers as a local file system.  I found these for mounting an HTTP directory listings from a webserver:

** rclone -- https://rclone.org/http/ -- a cross platform Linux/MacOS/Windows option

$ apt-get install rclone

$ cat rclone-ietf.conf
[ietf]
type = http
url = https://www.ietf.org/ietf-ftp/

$ rclone --config=rclone-ietf.conf mount ietf: /mnt/ietf-ftp/

$ ls -F /mnt/ietf-ftp/

** HTTPDirFS -- https://github.com/fangfufu/httpdirfs -- Linux and FreeBSD only? (binaries in Debian and Arch flavors; FreeBSD ports)

Roman
