That version is now available in *beta* at the following address:

<http://www.runrev.com/revolution/developers/interimreleases/liburl/releases.shtml>

But to clarify a little ... It doesn't enable the "put .... into url 
..."  for http urls any more than the current version. What it does 
is provide a way to emulate html forms of type "multipart/form-data" 
which is often used for uploading files from web pages. However, you 
would still use "post" with this, and not "put".

"put" is nominally supported by libUrl for http urls. But as the docs 
say, this is rarely supported by http servers. As a result, it has 
never been properly tested. :(
