You could do it quite easily with twod.wsgi and Paste:
"""
from paste.proxy import Proxy
from twod.wsgi import make_wsgi_view
class ProxyRemoteFile(Proxy):
def __call__(self, environ, start_response):
environ['PATH_INFO'] = "/fixed/path/to/file"
return super(ProxyRemoteFile, self).__call__(environ,
start_response)
proxy_app = ProxyRemoteFile("some.url.com", ["GET"])
# This is the Django view that you can attach to any URLConf:
proxy_view = make_wsgi_view(proxy_app)
"""
