Does this exist?

I fairly often need to mount a CD image and install software from it. Generally speaking the images are retrieved from a web server. Currently my script downloads the image and deletes it when it's done, but it would be nice to eliminate even that step and mount it directly over HTTP.

The obvious answer is a network block device server that uses HTTP byte range requests to access the CD image. Does this exist already?
