Having file: support POST (and probably some other methods)

Hi all,
I was writing some tests for some code in which a URI can be passed as
an option. This code POSTs to the URI. Instead of having the test
create a local web server, I thought it would be nice if file URI's
could be posted to. Is this a nutty idea? This way the test could just
then read the data created at the specified file URI.

Something like this:

POST file:/some/path/data

would cause all the posted data to show up in data.
