When I do an HTTP GET on some apache server configured to serve a file
system, I get HTML.

When I do an HTTP GET on some search engine, I get HTML built on the
fly to show the results from a database query.

My browser wants HTML and will not care if that HTML existed as a file
before my GET or was built right after my GET arrived at the server.

Do you think we could have the same with the abstractions of Solid ?
