You are indeed :)  That's why the port set by the '-W' option is
called the WebDAV *source* port.

wget will get the rendered page unless you pointed it at the webdav
port. I haven't tried that yet. In sitecopy's rc file you specify
whether it should use FTP or WebDAV.

here's a mail i wrote about a year ago:

In a Zope External Method, that should be about 5 lines of code.
I'm also under pressure right now, otherwise I'd give it a shot :/

zope@zope.org is probably the closest one.
