To test it,
1. I set up a named pipe a.file

3. I open a browser and try to access http://localhost/a.file
However, when I tried to do this, I found apache just simply close the
connection and the browser stay blank.
Since no one more familiar with apache than I has answered. . .
I hadn't seen the OP ...
Anyway, apache's default handler serves a file. If you want to serve
from a pipe, you'll need another handler. Or an alternative such as
a CGI script.
Having said that, it looks like enabling a pipe should be a
very straightforward hack to the default handler. Just test
r->finfo.filetype for a pipe, and if it is, make a pipe bucket
of it (and avoid inappropriate ops like setting Content-Length
or Last-Modified from the finfo).
