C.f. http://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=115763&start=280: i.e., CFNetwork/CFURL/NSURL use sqlite to cache responses.

Well, it doesn't prohibit it, but it does raise the issue of whether the APIs are compatible. I'm also not sure what would happen under iOS where if you want to override sqlite, you have to do it statically (app store requirements) but if CFNetwork binds it dynamically ... I don't know enough about how the dl loader works.

Honestly, feels kinda quixotic.
