Web Publishing with the PUT Method
The standard way of uploading files to a Web server using HTTP is through the use of the PUT method. HTTP Server (powered by Apache) supports the PUT method, but requires additional setup to tell the server how to handle incoming PUT requests. One way to accomplish this is to enable WebDAV, which is provided with HTTP Server (powered by Apache) through the module mod_dav. Another is to provide your own CGI program and configure it for use with HTTP Server (powered by Apache). This article discusses both options, as well as the PUT method in general.
