Perhaps a workaround could be built with netcat and named pipes?

Quite possibly- nc is a cool little project. But this seems to be something you should get by default. You don't need to set up named pipes and special programs to get a file over SAMBA or NFS, just setup the FS level drivers. Same should be true for other network connections.
