In our project, we are requesting audio and video files from a remote endpoint through Remote Stream Wrapper. We find that this results in 3-5 requests for the full file from the remote system each time a web browser requests such a file through Drupal. This is especially bad in browsers like Safari which demand to be able to use "ranged requests" in order to buffer their content, since Drupal has to request the full file from the remote system for each partial seek-and-read request.
It would be great if this module provided a way to cache these files locally for a short time so that we can avoid unnecessary round-trips to the remote system.
\Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\BinaryFileResponse in your controller method so that the response handles RFC 2616 (aka "range requests", like the ones Safari demands) properly.
Implement a new stream wrapper that composes/decorates the existing HttpStreamWrapper wrapper with one that automatically caches requested files in the Drupal temporary file system. Ensure that these temporary files get registered as FILE_STATUS_TEMPORARY with the managed file system in Drupal so they get garbage collected periodically (e.g. every four hours).

None (the change is additive and does not affect existing consumers of the HTTP stream wrapper).
