And what a pity, he ? If this was allowed by default, there would
probably be 500,000 websites out there where you could just upload your
files with xapclient.
:-)

There needs to be some module at Apache level to allow and handle these
PUTs. Check out the mod_dav module at

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_dav.html

This is not configured or enabled by default for good reasons.
A PUT request to, for example, "http://localhost/some-location" means
that whatever the client is sending as body to that request, is accepted
by the server and written to the disk location corresponding to that
URL. You probably do not want just anybody in the world being able to
write files into your website directories, do you ?

So, don't just install mod_dav and enable this functionality without
reading ALL the documentation VERY carefully, particularly the bits
about authentication, security, etc.

Or else, give us the URL of your server. We all need a place to store
files cheaply.
