You seem to think in term of mapping file systems to published URI's.
Rather old-fashioned, and obsolescent, in my not-so humble opinion.
Compare this to creating a virtual URI space where the URI do not map
directly to physical files and directories, but instead into access
requests filtered through some form of dynamic generator program.
Example: <URL: https://www.sics.se/~kpj/kyber.shtml>
<URL: http://www.sics.se/~kpj/kyber.shtml>
This implements a file repository, simulating various operating
systems, while adding an unseen layer of security for some areas.
Notes:
a. Currently, the example cruft above uses semi-permanent URI's, but it is
quite trivial to make URI's change by the hour if one really wants to.
b. And if one really wants to make certain the reader gets to read all the
important adverts, one could simply add them to each generated URI's
contents.
