Yes -- this can be done and from a Cocoa app, too. It is even
relatively easy.
Implement a WebDAV server that barfs out the appropriate DAV HTTP
responses for the dynamically populated folder and mount that in
the Finder.
And absolutely no performance whatsoever, been there, done that.
Apple's WebDav implementation is so broken that I wouldn't touch it
with a stick. If you want even a little bit of performance you must
go and develop a kernel extension.
To be fair, Apple's WebDAV is light-years beyond XP. XP's WebDAV
implementation completely fails when files grow larger than some
arbitrary size (which IIRC is about 48MB).
