First of all you can do it without problems, you can actually use internal
HTTP server to do this. In both synchronous and asynchonous manner,
you can for example hande several hundreds of simultaniuos connections
using asynchronous applications.

You can also do it via FastCGI, SCGI or use reverse HTTP Proxy.

Of course for static content it would better to use real web server.

What I can recommend is to use combination of X-Send-File, X-Send-Range
and lighttpd to give lighttpd information about what to send.

If you are planning to serve everything via CppCMS HTTP server
it is not good idea, but I don't see specific problem in video
streaming.
