Just confirming that it works.
Booted directly to the prompt of gPXE. Then chained pxelinux.0 using these
commands;
dhcp net0
set 209:string pxelinux.cfg/default
set 210:string http://ip_of_server/
chain http://ip_of_server/pxelinux.0
Content of pxelinux.cfg/default;
DEFAULT /pxelinux.cfg/menu.c32
LABEL image.gz (SDI)
MENU LABEL image.gz (SDI)
KERNEL /pxelinux.cfg/sdi.c32
APPEND image.gz
Booting fine an SDI image of full XP which was gzipped to 306 Mb. On a crappy
wireless connection it took a few minutes though.
Thanks for the pointers.

question is simply if the above setup is possible to boot?
I would say yes. PXELINUX can currently use HTTP if it is
chained-from and detects gPXE. If sdi.c32 uses the same file opening
logic as, let's say, menu.c32, then it should work. Look for "Changes
in 3.70" in syslinux/NEWS and also look for "is_gpxe:" in
syslinux/core/pxelinux.asm.
