I am putting together a Drupal 7 instance that will consume REST data provided by another D7 instance using the services module. The requirement is that the consumer be a thin client and only display external node data and theme it as if it were local data.

This is mostly simple with the exception of attached files and images. I am using imagecache_external to cache and serve the external images on the consumer but there does not seem to be an equivalent module for uploaded files.

I am ready to build a module to fill this need but first wanted to see if any module I may have missed already does this. Also, I wanted to see if there is any real interest in a module for this purpose.

Thanks for any input.
