Communicate with server using PUT

[Dar Scott]

This is coming back to me and I think I ended up testing the PUT on a different server.  Perhaps some Apache setting was getting in the way and the ISP was not able to track it down.  I still wonder if my test had some flaw staring me in the face.  In any case, I was able to do the test.
