PS: Anyone done a WebDAV thingy for EMACS yet?
William Perry, who wrote the w3 browser, sent me some alpha code that makes Emacs talk WebDAV natively but I have not really tried it in anger yet.
It should be fairly easy to get Emacs to use cadaver to read and write files. But what functionality would it bring you over ftp? Locking?
Would it also give you access to an objects properties? I thought they have not been mapped to WebDAV properties. Am I correct?
Exactly. I can already edit my Zope objects in place with Emacs. I miss out on locking, I suppose, but that hasn't been much of a problem so far. I especially like being able to edit Pythonscripts in python-mode, ZSQL methods in sql-mode, DTML methods in dtml-mode, and Page Templates in xml-mode. Of course, I am not much of a "designer" so maybe I am missing the boat with WYSIWYG editors. Jason
