External diff via 'ccollab' commandline tool?
Hi,
I like to use the commandline interface wherever possible.
One thing I'd like to do is launch an entire (multi-file) diff for a given review from the commandline.
Is this possible?
Note: All I really need to do is download the .collabdiff file, through an URL such as "http://myserver/externaldiff?reviewid=150&changelistid=3898". From there, the external diff tool can take over and launch my custom diff tools.
The only problem is that if I try to retrieve that .collabdiff file via wget or a similar command-line interface, it does not know that I am logged in, so it is rejected.
So in short: is there any way to any one of:
(1) launch the external diff via ccollab.exe
(2) download the .collabdiff file via ccollab.exe
(3) download the .collabdiff file via my own program (such as wget) - in this case I need some way of passing authentication information
Thanks!
