This is a variant of ggatec using http(s) GET/PUT instead of talking
to ggated.

Note that when I started on this project, that this would be completely
standards complaint. After running into an issue w/ the wsgidav server
not supporting partial PUTs, I did some research, and came across this
[post](https://blog.sphere.chronosempire.org.uk/2012/11/21/webdav-and-the-http-patch-nightmare)
that talks about how the IETF intentionally broke partial PUTs, despite
having the same problems w/ other parts of their spec.

Servers known to work:
- apache 2.2.x: can truncate file under some conditions

Services known to not work:
- wsgidav (Python): Does not implement partial PUT
