Serving files via HTTP (to provide initramfs for network booting servers)

RouterOS General
1

I know this question / feature-request has come up in the past (http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/feature-request-static-content-web-server/110888/1).
But even after using the forum search I could not find a definitive answer …

Is RouterOS 7.x capable to serving some files via HTTP(S)?
Since newer devices like e.g. the CCR2216-1G-12XS-2XQ allow for large flash storage (it has m.2 SATA slots) and recent versions have gotten support for NFS and SMB via ROSE (https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/ROSE-storage) I wonder if static HTTP was also supported in any way?

My intended use case would be netbooting (PXE) of servers.
Yes, netbooting a Linux kernel via NFS and SMB is also possible, but HTTP is just so simple in comparison and universally supported.

Something like this, running in a container ?

Possibly yes or just a simple webserver in a container. But this creates complexity.
That’s why I wanted to know if, with all the services like NFS and SMB supported natively, serving static files via HTTP
was not something that was possible without going the container route …

Access to files using NFS/SMB is something completely different then a PXE netboot service.
Even MT’s own netinstall does not run natively on ROS but using a container it can be done.
Webserver (disregarding webfig), same. Natively no. Using container yes.
