Intercepts the standard C library calls (open/read/lseek/close/fopen/fread/fseek/fclose/ftell/stat/fstat/lstat) and allows them to transparently access HTTP/HTTPS URLs.
Includes byte-range support for random-access, read-ahead windowing for speed and efficiency, and is built on libcurl, for .. umm .. convenience? :-)
