Don't forget a thing :
If you put a webserver in front of this, you will have to load the entire
object in RAM before you can serve it to the client, which means a little
number of requests on large files will kick the server into swapalot mode.
Using filesystem files solves this in the most easy of ways, but creates
backup problems, but it's not that complex.
