Are there any considerations regarding moving from KIO to something like
libsoup? While it seems to make sense for VFS to run backends
out-of-process (like KIO, GVFS and FUSE do it), perhaps that's not
necessary for web-browsers/http. From reading about libsoup i got the
impression that it's becoming a full-fledged http-client library.
Perhaps another area where code could be shared.
