edit aoc short_link attributes from ascli

[erpadmin]

From what I can tell the short_link feature does not support specifying/editing permissions and attributes.

i.e for ascli aoc files short_link --workspace=default /newfolder there is option create, list, delete but create did not honor additional parameters.

on a side note
The -h switch is not working correctly, or perhaps usefully, because if I specify ascli aoc files short_link -h I only get help info for top level items global,config,aoc and not at the lower level i've specified.

During additional testing, I set automatic expiration to 2 days for the files application. I'm now getting an error I can't seem to work around. Functionally, this probably should have used the current expiration value.

$ ascli aoc files short_link --workspace=default /newfolder public create
Workspace: default
ERROR: Rest: data: ["The link expiration cannot be Never and needs to be of a lower value"]

About option -h : this is a known limitation, currently ascli does not support per-action help ...

Issue: #24

See beta here:

The create action now takes an optional payload.
There is also now a modify action.

Hey laurent-martin, this is good stuff to have a beta on this feature already. I am unable to test and provide feedback (trial expired), and currently knee deep in testing other share solutions (generally not because aspera did not measure up).
