Hi there,

I am having problems with (great) curl tool. The PUT method does not
work with the --digest option.

****
WITHOUT --digest:

=== curl-command
curl -X PUT -d @payload.xml http://localhost:8080/api/ads/712566 -H
"Content-Type: application/xml"

=== ngrep output
T 127.0.0.1:33558 -> 127.0.0.1:8080 [AP]
  PUT /api/ads/712566 HTTP/1.1..User-Agent: curl/7.19.5
(i486-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.19.5 OpenSSL/0.9.8g zlib/1.2.3.3
libidn/1.15..Host: localhost:8080..Accept: *
  /*..Content-Type: application/xml..Content-Length: 2928..Expect:
100-continue....

****
WITH --digest:

=== curl-command
curl -X PUT -d @payload.xml http://localhost:8080/api/ads/712566 -H
"Content-Type: application/xml" --digest -u foo:bar

=== ngrep output
T 127.0.0.1:33511 -> 127.0.0.1:8080 [AP]
  PUT /api/ads/712566 HTTP/1.1..User-Agent: curl/7.19.5
(i486-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.19.5 OpenSSL/0.9.8g zlib/1.2.3.3
libidn/1.15..Host: localhost:8080..Accept: *
  /*..Content-Type: application/xml..Content-Length: 0....

Compare the Content-Length entry (2928K vs 0K). Seeing this I guess that
--digest doesn't go well with the PUT option. It works fine for POST.

Version of curl:
curl 7.19.5 (i486-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.19.5 OpenSSL/0.9.8g
zlib/1.2.3.3 libidn/1.15

thanks.
