put something into url "http://www.mydomain.com"

[Mark Smith]

David, I'm not expert on this, but I'd bear in mind that webDav is  
not HTTP (as far as I know).

Also, PUT is not well supported in libUrl, and I don't think webDav  
is at all (Dave Cragg may be able to say more...)

As for modernity, with Amazon's S3 service, http PUT is the main  
method of getting stuff in, so that seems pretty 'modern' to me :)

As I understand it, if you've got Apache set up as described on one  
of those pages, you could have a rev cgi script that reads from stdin  
and writes to the right places on the server.

Best,

Mark
