With Emacs the solution to edit remote files is called `tramp'. However, it uses ftp to transfer date AFAIU.

HTTP is mandatory and the only option for my purposes.

Anyway, for me it works fine.

So, my question is: Does anyone know of an editor that can do this? Apart from the URL the only parameter required to POST the new data back to the server is the name of the HTTP parameter name with which to associate the uploaded data. That value is under my control, if it would be helpful to pick some specific value instead of the one I chose.

I believe any KDE app will do this, so kwrite/kate.

Really? Let me see... I tried Kate. Reading works, not too surprisingly, but it's not able to POST the edited contents back to the URL from which it originally retrieved them.

You can also wrap vim with kioexec, so "kioexec vim http://example.com/somefile" Then kioexec will upload changes after you close vim, it doesn't work without X though.

X is good. I always have KDE running.

Are you sure? Seems to work for other people http://news.opensuse.org/2007/07/18/nice-trick-to-use-apiopensuseorg- native-with-kde-apps/ for example.

OK. That page held the clue I needed. These mechanisms (kioexec, kio_http, etc.) use PUT, not POST. So I implemented a PUT handler in my server (in addition to the POST handler I had) and—voila!—it works. This is just what I was looking for. Thanks! Now I don't get why the Vim "netrw" doesn't handle HTTP via PUT. It seems simple enough (simpler than many of the schemes it does support such as ftp, scp, rcp, etc.). By the way, I tried running Vim under "kioexec" but the problem with that is that Vim does not get a direct connection to the TTY: % kioexec vi http://host/path Vim: Warning: Input is not from a terminal After that, it's all messed up and Vim needs to be killed. Do you know how to solve this problem? Again, thanks for the tip.
