I can never remember the syntax for putting caps directly on the command-line (not going through the "tahoe aliases" layer). Presumably I did something wrong here, but the error message sure isn't telling me what:

$ time tahoe cp --node-url=http://127.0.0.1:3456 ~/Movies/Miro/Sintel.2010.2K.Theora-VODO/Sintel.2010.2K.Theora-VODO.ogv

Error during PUT: 501 Not Implemented
"I don't know how to treat a PUT request."

#1379 (another case of a poor error message due to wrong path syntax) has been closed as a duplicate of this ticket. The fix should work for all path arguments to any CLI command.

As in #1379, the problem here is that $CAP:$PATH was used instead of $CAP/$PATH.
