general/3437: Interprets method incorrectly.

>Environment:
Linux 2.0.35 i586, gcc version 2.8.1
>Description:
The method is not being interpreted correctly.  When I ask for 
'PUT' /foo.html http/1.0' it seems to ignore the method by always using 'GET'.
 However when the filename doesn't contain a period, it is used correctly.  For
example, I am able to retreive a document using 'GEE /index.html http/1.0'.
 When I try a 'PUT /foo http/1.0' it creates the file 'foo'.
