You have probably already considered this, but just in case....
I was looking at the EDGAR ftp files in response to a user query here and I think you could easily provide browsing by title access to the EDGAR files for WWW clients like Mosaic or lynx, without running your own http server.
It just requires the conversion of the index files to HTML files with links to your ftp server. I've appended an example. I did this with global changes in Emacs, but it should be easy to write a perl or awk script to do the same on any index you have.
If you put these on the ftp server along with the other versions of the indexes, any WWW browser could load them, and use them to access the files. For instance, a complete version of the sample below could be saved as "company.html".
