I guess I'm not seeing why you want to use the reference: scheme with
non-file URLs?

do you just want to avoid copying the remote content locally or is there
another reason?

  
Good question. I want to modify the content as it is read. e.g., I want 
to process the MANIFEST.MF by having my own URL handler for a custom 
protocol. All these work as long as I don't use reference scheme.
