When configuring a new service, it's useful to conduct a minimal test to
ensure that nothing is wrong with the service. That was the point of using
cadaver.

For my immediate needs, I think I can do without scp, since org-mode and
Apache are on the same machine. The broader point is about the
documentation. It says "do it this way" but "this way" doesn't work.

1. How do I use scp from the command line?

2. This destination is modeled on the docs, so if it's wrong, then so is
the doc.

Well, it almost looks to me like org-mobile-directory is asked to do two
things at once: specify the scp syntax *and* hold a path that can be
resolved on the local file system. This is the source of my confusion.

At best, the docs are unclear.

No matter for me. I'll just set org-mobile-directory to the physical, local
path that is remotely accessible by webdav. But the doc was rather
misleading, suggesting that some editorial attention would be warranted.
