VFS for HTTP/HTTPS support for macOS
Hi,
I found that gio/gvfs is very depended on Linux internals, including dbus, fuse and some other system-specific things. This makes it mostly non-portable to other systems, including OSX and Win32.
From other side, some apps (e.g. GIMP) are relying on gio to load content from HTTP/HTTPS location. Would it be better to move at least some of the gvfs code to the gio modules and implement it using libsoup? Or there is a better recommended approach?
