very helpful thanks did a bit more reading and this is what I understand now for my use case, which is submit a brand new item to a collections workflow
1) have to configure such that password authentication is enabled 2) have to figure out how to tell sword to stick the submission into a workflow 3) have to write a hopefully small script that establishes the connection and pushes a zip file : metadata plus bitstreams 4) have to figure the format of that zip file out 2 and 4 look like they have DSPace specific pieces - so I am asking you guys - anybody with an answer ? Somebody must have done this or something very similar.
