Put module

File upload support

---

Overview
The Put module provides support for the HTTP PUT method, used to upload files to the web server. The PUT method is used by web publishing tools to seamlessly publish documents on the web.

For security, the web server requires that the PUT request contains an authenticated UserID. The server can also be configured to create the uploaded file to be owned by this UserID, in which case it needs to be a valid user on the system. For information on how to require a UserID/Password for PUT access to a directory, see the htaccess module.

Configuration
As the web server will create the new file on the system it needs to know which userid should own the files it creates. It can either save it under it's own userid, in which case it will need write access to the document tree, or it can save it under the userid of the publisher. To save under the publisher's userid requires the server to be started as root.
