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

[Mark Smith]

Glad to hear you've got it working.

Re S3, in the REST interface, PUT is indeed the method, it's only in  
the SOAP interface that the data is uploaded as a DIME attachment to  
a SOAP envelope.

When I was writing my S3 library, I found that doing PUTs with libUrl  
tended to fail with data bigger than a megabyte or so, DELETE kind of  
worked, but seemed to take a long time to return, and I seem to  
remember that making HEAD requests wasn't completely plain sailing,  
either (nothing new there :)).
Also, libUrl won't upload files from disc using http.

The version currently knocking about used my own socket/http  
routines, and seems to work well enough, but the version I'm  
currently working with uses curl.

Best,

Mark
