Windows HTTP virtual drive using DOKAN kernel driver

Your goal is to use opensource library DOKAN to develop a HTTP virtual drive on Windows, for example N:\ Dokan can be downloaded here: [login to view URL] Basically it provides the necessary kernel-space driver for the virtual drive, and you can focus only on the HTTP userspace code. As you can see at the dokan website, there are also some source codes for sshfs virtual drive, your goal is to implement http virtual drive in a very similar manner, where all system calls are simply translated to HTTP requests. Since HTTP doesn't support most of the filesystem operations like createFile() or readDir() or whatever, your goal will be to design a protocol which we will use on server side. Your userspace filesystem will just GET or POST over HTTP to a hardcoded URL or URLs where server-side script will be located, which will handle the filesystem requests and return responses. It is up to you to decide what functions are needed for basic filesystem operation (create and delete files and directories, list directories, show drive free space. That's basically all I need, no need for any user permissions). It is NOT your goal to develop anything on the server-side, that will be done by someone else upon your request promptly. For example lets say you need a readDir() function, so you just tell me what input parameters are you going to send over POST or GET, and what output do you want to receive from the server for easier parsing. Server-side will be ready for you upon request within few minutes. Example: when user wants to list directory structure, your userspace code may need to issue a GET request like this: http://server/[login to view URL] or you may suggest different options and parameters As output, the script will return any data you need exactly in the format you need them. Your final result will be a small installer, which will install the virtual http drive in a Windows box, supporting Windows XP, 7, vista, possibly 8. User interface will be very simple, user will see small window where he can enter login and password, and 'connect' or 'disconnect' buttons to connect or disconnect the virtual drive, and also to choose a drive letter for it, like N:\ Furthermore system tray will show an icon where the dialog will be minimized. You will provide simple installer which only asks for path where to install all files, and then installs everything quietly, it must not show any commandline windows during installation etc. You must understand how to use byte-range http requests and you must understand how keep-alive works, to transfer only the data which need to be transferred, and to reuse existing connection where possible (with smooth and fast reconnection when necessary). Furthermore you need to know how to open and manage several connections to the server, in order to support parallel filesystem operations! I'm going to set the minimum budget, however I expect you to bid a price for your work as you decide, which may of course exceed the budget. Bear in mind I am a senior software developer and I basically know what it takes to do such job, so be honest with your bid. Thank you
