GET $URL?t=download&localfile=$LOCALPATH
This instructs the node to download the given file or directory and write
it into the local filesystem at $LOCALPATH. This request will only be
accepted from an HTTP client connection originating at 127.0.0.1 . This
request is most useful when the client node and the HTTP client are
operated by the same user. $LOCALPATH should be an absolute pathname.

vdrive. Intermediate directories are created on-demand just like with the
regular PUT command.
PUT $NEWURL?t=upload&localfile=$LOCALPATH
This uploads a file or directory from the node's local filesystem to the
vdrive. As with "GET $URL?t=download&localfile=$LOCALPATH", this request
will only be accepted from an HTTP connection originating from 127.0.0.1.
If $LOCALPATH points to a directory on the node's local filesystem, then
the node performs a recursive upload of the directory into the vdrive at
the given location. $NEWURL will be created if necessary. When the
operation is complete, the directory referenced by $NEWURL will contain all
of the files and directories that were present in $LOCALPATH, so this is
equivalent to the unix commands:
mkdir -p $NEWURL; cp -r $LOCALPATH/* $NEWURL/
Note that the "curl" utility can be used to provoke this sort of recursive
upload, since the -T option will make it use an HTTP 'PUT':
curl -T /dev/null 'http://localhost:8011/vdrive/global/newdir?t=upload&localdir=/home/user/directory-to-upload'
DELETE $URL
This deletes the given file or directory from the vdrive. If it is a
