I've done it before. I wrote a virtual:// protocol handler in JavaScript, to pull in files from a "virtual file service" (basically, a JavaScript object map with file contents & content-types). I found out it didn't work, due to a known bug with JavaScript-based protocol handlers.
So it can be done, but you'd be better off doing it in C++.
