Please use :-) if you make a joke, some people might think
you are serious.
It is not so obvious that using servlets, CGI, JSP or even shtml
to serve static files is a joke ( static = number of reads much bigger than
number of changes in content).
I think too many system are designed ignoring any rule and any
complexity/speed consideration - and I bet what you just described
already exists.
( for your initial question "sed" is more than enough - there are amazing
optimizations done to serve files - people spent lot of time avoiding
kernel/user space copy, doing mmaps, caching and profiling - any "dynamic"
solution for your problem is just throwing away all this )
