["Dr. Peter Poeml" <poeml@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I recently announced this little change:

> The following change gives you the opportunity to implement new
> subcommands (or change existing commands) without touching the osc
> package (if there is interest in this, I can write a howto):
> 
>   - load subcommands from /var/lib/osc-plugins/ or ~/.osc-plugins/

Since I just implemented a new command, which I figured could be handy,
I am posting this as an example.

You can use it after copying the attached file to ~/.osc-plugins.

It allows to issue "raw" HTTP requests to the api by specifying the URL
and possible data or file to send, like:

  osc req /source/home:poeml
or
  osc req -m PUT -f /etc/fstab source/home:poeml/test5/myfstab

Thus, it can be used in a curl-like fashion, with authentification
handled by osc.

Peter
