This is the RESTful editor, an utility to edit content in a CMS with
your desktop applications (e.g. Gimp, OpenOffice, vim, etc.)

An optimistic restful [1] mechanism based in timestamps is used to talk
with the server.  This mechanism uses HTTP/1.1, in particular the PUT
method and the If-Unmodified-Since header.  At least the Ikaaro [2] CMS
is known to support this mechanism and to work with restedit.

This software is a fork of zopeedit [3], the main difference is the
mechanism used to talk with the server (restful or not restful).

Install
-------

Python 2.5 or later is required.  Python 3 is not yet supported.

The RESTful editor is a single file, restedit.py, just copy this file
to some folder.  For instance:

  # cp restedit.py /usr/local/bin/

Then configure your browser so it will use the restedit.py script to
open web pages with the 'application/x-restedit' mimetype.

The first time the script is run it will create a '.resteditrc' file in
your home directory.  Edit this file to customize restedit: for example
you can choose which applications to use to edit different file types.
