Comment (by j_karthic):

 One could also write a new wrapping protocol with a configurable
 buffer(s), which works on many underlying protocols including http. See
 Cache protocol and tee protocol for examples.
 https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-protocols.html#toc-cache
 https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-protocols.html#tee

 New protocol approach could be much simpler than modifying the existing
 http.c
