Hello, this is an interesting use case.

Maybe looking at how http2 works https://www.npmjs.org/package/http2 can 
help you. It's basically the same principle: several responses multiplexed 
into a single connection. Only the framing differs (multipart vs. http2)

Alternatively, you could try and instanciate yourself a 
http.IncomingMessage (response object) [1] whose constructor only takes a 
"socket" parameter for which a readable stream should suffice. You may have 
to trick the IncomingMessage into thinking the stream is a socket.

I'd be interested in knowing if that works out.
