editURL
edits the contents of a remote file
dave> open host.org/dav_dir/
dave> edit index.html
Edit is equivalent to the following sequence of commands:
LOCK index.html (if allowed)
GET index.html /tmp/dave.perldav.421341234124
sh $EDITOR /tmp/dave.perldav.421341234124
PUT index.html (if modified)
UNLOCK index.html (if locked)
Where $EDITOR is determined from the environment variables DAV_EDITOR or EDITOR.
If DAV_EDITOR is set, it will use that, otherwise it will use EDITOR. If neither variables are set,
then "vi" will be used.
Notes:
The lock only lasts for 10 hours.
You cannot edit a directory (collection).
The temporary save directory is editable by editing dave and changing TMP_DIR
getURL[FILE]

lock[URL[TIMEOUT][DEPTH]]
locks a resource
Without a URL you will lock the current remote collection.
TIMEOUT can be any of the following formats:
30s 30 seconds from now
10m ten minutes from now
1h one hour from now
1d tomorrow
3M in three months
10y in ten years time
2000-02-31 00:40:33
2000-02-31
Default is an infinite timeout
See perldoc "HTTP::DAV::Resource" for more information about timeouts.
DEPTH can be either "0" or "infinity" (default)
Seeting the lock Scope and Type is not currently implemented. Let me know if you need it as it
shouldn't be too much effort.
