However, I take some small issue with the assertion that FTP is easier to script than HTTP. The only way I have ever found it easy to script FTP (outside of writing dedicated expect scripts to drive clients, which really seems like cheating) is to use tools like curl, and I don't see why HTTP is more difficult than FTP as a protocol in that case. Perhaps I'm missing something.
It looks like curl can upload stuff (-d @file) but you have to have something on the server to accept it. FTP sounds easier. -- Nathan Ward
