I have a text file on a server that I want someone to be able to edit
via the web. I need it to have some modicum of security, but it's
nothing particularly important and security is not the main concern.
I am perfectly willing to simply http-auth it, if need be.
But it need to be easily editable using some sort of simple web form.
The file is unlikely to be much more than 20-100 lines of simple
text, but there are a couple of things that are important.
1) it has to preserve spacing and 'extended' characters
2) it has to be kept readable to the uid of the directory it is in,
and not just the webserver, however it can't be world readable
without some authentication via the web.
3) the file is in $HOME and not in DocumentRoot, though it _could_ be
moved.
I don't want to install some fancy word-processing sort of engine
just to give a user access to this file, nor does the file need to be
html-ized or anything. It is a very simple file:
(AAA) XXX-NNN, some descriptive text
(AAA) XXX-NNN, some other descriptive text
(AAA) XXX-NNN, some different descriptive text
(AAA) XXX-NNN, John Smith
etc.
So, do I whack up something where I just load the file into a HTML
Textarea and then write it back (simple enough, though possibly
rather dangerous), or is there something straightforward I should go
ahead and use that might find use elsewhere on the server?
