Method PUT without file

Hi.

Some REST server does not requiere a content when the PUT method is used. The
curl tool expect a file when `-T` https://curl.haxx.se/docs/manpage.html#-T is
used for PUT.
There are several examples out there where the `-X PUT` is used instead of `-T`.
Is there a easy workaround to use the native PUT flow in the curl-tool without
to add a file?

I have tried /dev/null, this works, but is it a "valid" solution from curl point
of view?

curl -vkT /dev/null https://www.domain.com/aaaaaaaa -o /dev/null

```
* Connected to www.domain.com (IP) port 443 (#0)
* found 148 certificates in /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
* found 599 certificates in /etc/ssl/certs
* ALPN, offering http/1.1
* SSL connection using TLS1.2 / ECDHE_RSA_AES_256_CBC_SHA384

...
* ALPN, server accepted to use http/1.1
> PUT /aaaaaaaa HTTP/1.1
> Host: www.domain.com
> User-Agent: curl/7.47.0
> Accept: */*
> Transfer-Encoding: chunked
> Expect: 100-continue
>
< HTTP/1.1 100 Continue

```

Aleks
