=head1 DESCRIPTION
dave is a powerful command-line program for interacting with WebDAV-enabled webservers. With dave you can:
=over 4
=item * get and put files
=item * make directories on a remote webserver
=item * remove files and directories from a remote webserver
=item * edit a file on the webserver with a single command
=item * recursively get a remote directory
=item * recursively put a local directory
=item * lock and unlock remote files and directories
=item * securely transfer over https
=item * authenticate using the safer Digest authentication
=back
Dave is a part of the PerlDAV project (http://www.webdav.org/perldav/) and is built on top of the HTTP::DAV perl API.
If you would like to script webdav interactions in Perl checkout the HTTP::DAV API as it's commands are the basis for dave's.
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 4
=item C<-debug N>
Sets the debug level to N. 0=none. 3=noisy.
=item C<-h>
Prints basic help and options.
=item C<-man>
Prints the full manual (equivalent to perldoc dave).
You will need to use a pager like C<more> or C<less>. e.g.
dave -man |less
=item C<< -p <password> >>
Sets the password to be used for the URL.
You must also supply a user. See C<-u>.
=item C<< -u <username> >>
Sets the username to be used for the URL.
You must also supply a pass. See C<-p>.
=item C<-tmpdir /some/path>
Create temporary files in C</some/path> instead of the default C</tmp>.
=back
=head1 COMMANDS
=over 4
=item B<cd URL>
changes directories
dave> open host.org/dav_dir/
dave> cd dir1
dave> cd ../dir2
=item B<cat URL>
shows the contents of a remote file
dave> open host.org/dav_dir/
dave> cat index.html
Note: you cannot cat a directory (collection).
=item B<cp>
=item B<copy SOURCE_URL DEST_URL>
copies one remote resource to another
dave> open host.org/dav_dir/
Create a copy of dir1/ as dav2/
dave> cp dir1 dav2
Create a copy of dir1/file.txt as dav2/file.txt
dave> cd dir1
dave> copy file.txt ../dav2
Create a copy of file.txt as ../dav2/new_file.txt
dave> copy file.txt dav2/new_file.txt
Aliases: cp
=item B<rmdir URL>
=item B<rm URL>
=item B<delete URL>
deletes a remote resource
dave> open host.org/dav_dir/
dave> delete index.html
dave> rmdir ./dir1
dave> delete /dav_dir/dir2/
dave> delete /dav_dir/*.html
This command recursively deletes directories. BE CAREFUL :)
This command supported wildcards (globbing). See get.
Aliases: rm, rmdir
=item B<edit URL>
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
=item B<get URL [FILE]>
downloads the file or directory at URL
If FILE is not specified it will be saved to your
current working directory using the same name as
the remote name.
dave> open host.org/dav_dir/
Recursively get remote my_dir/ to .
dave> get my_dir/
Recursively get remote my_dir/ to /tmp/my_dir/
dave> get my_dir /tmp
Get remote my_dir/index.html to /tmp/index.html
dave> get /dav_dir/my_dir/index.html /tmp
Get remote index.html to /tmp/index1.html
dave> get index.html /tmp/index1.html
Use globs and save to /tmp
dave> get index* /tmp # Gets index*.html, index*.txt, etc.
dave> get index*.html /tmp/index1.html # Gets index*.html
dave> get index[12].htm? # Gets file1 and file2, .htm and .html
=item B<? [CMD]>
=item B<h [CMD]>
=item B<help [CMD]>
prints list of commands or help for CMD
dave> ?
dave> help get
Aliases: ?, h
=item B<lcd [DIR]>
changes local directory
dave> lcd /tmp
=item B<lls [DIR]>
lists local directory contents
dave> lcd /tmp
dave> lls
dave> lls /home
This command simply execs the local ls command and is
equivalent to "!ls"
=item B<dir [URL]>
=item B<ls [URL]>
lists remote directory contents or file props
dave> ls

Locks supported: write/exclusive write/shared
Locks:
Use propfind to get a similar printout of a
collection (directory).
Aliases: dir
=item B<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 C<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.
=item B<mkdir URL>
=item B<mkcol URL>
make a remote collection (directory)
dave> open host.org/dav_dir/
dave> mkcol new_dir
dave> mkdir /dav_dir/new_dir
Aliases: mkdir
=item B<mv>
=item B<move SOURCE_URL DEST_URL>
moves a remote resource to another
dave> open host.org/dav_dir/
Move dir1/ to dav2/
dave> move dir1 dav2
Move file dir2/file.txt to ../file.txt
dave> cd dir2
dave> move file.txt ..
Move file.txt to dav2/new_file.txt
dave> move file.txt dav2/new_file.txt
Aliases: mv
=item B<open URL>
connects to the WebDAV-enabled server at URL
dave> open host.org/dav_dir/
Note that if authorization details are required you will
be prompted for them.
https and Digest authorization are not currently
supported. Please let me know if you need it.
=item B<options [URL]>
show the HTTP methods allowed for a URL
dave> options index.html
OPTIONS, GET, HEAD, POST, DELETE, TRACE, PROPFIND,
PROPPATCH, COPY, MOVE, LOCK, UNLOCK
Note that Microsoft's IIS does not support LOCK on
collections (directories). Nor does it support PROPPATCH.
=item B<propfind [URL]>
show the properties of a resource
dave> propfind test
URL: http://host.org/dav_dir/test/
Content-type: httpd/unix-directory
Creation date: Wed Aug 29 00:36:42 2001
Last modified:
Size: bytes
Locks supported: write/exclusive write/shared
Locks:
Using ls will get you the same printout if you ls
a file. But ls'ing a collection will show you the
collections contents.
=item B<put FILE [URL]>
uploads a local file or directory to URL
or the currently opened location.
If URL is an existing collection then the dir/file will
be copied INTO that collection.

=head1 GETTING HELP
The perldav mailing list
There is a mailing list for PerlDAV and dave for use by Developers and Users.
Please see http://mailman.webdav.org/mailman/listinfo/perldav
=head1 INSTALLATION
dave is installed to /usr/local/bin by default when you
install the PerlDAV library. See
http://www.webdav.org/perldav/ for installation details
of PerlDAV.
=head1 WHAT PLATFORMS WILL IT WORK ON?
dave is pure perl so only needs Perl5.003 (or later) and
the C<PerlDAV> library to be installed.
I have not ported dave to Windows but would like somebody
to have a shot at it.
=head1 SEE ALSO
The C<PerlDAV> perl API at http://www.webdav.org/perldav/
or by typing "perldoc HTTP::DAV" on your command line.
