****** How to enable HTTP Put **********

[Ron Stagg <ro...@trilogystudios.com>]

I need to enable the Put method on my Apache server (running on a Linux
box).  Documentation is scarce on this topic.  From the limited info I
have found, I inserted the following into httpd.conf:
 
<IfModule mod_put.c>
<Directory /var/www/html>
        EnablePut On
        AuthType Basic
        AuthName client_upload
        AuthUserFile /usr/local/etc/httpd/put_users
        EnableDelete Off
        umask 007
        <Limit PUT>
            require valid-user
        </Limit>
    </Directory>
</IfModule>
 
After restarting the server and sending an HTTP Options request to the
server, the server responds that it only supports GET POST TRACE and
OPTIONS.  When I try to PUT a file to the server, I get a 403 Forbidden
response.
 
Yes, I am aware of the security problems of enabling PUT.  (This is for
an internal server, so I am not worried.)
 
Please, please, please o please.  Can anybody help me?  I really need
PUT to work.  HOW CAN I DO THIS?
 
Thanks in advance,
