It mostly depends on whether your server allows PUT requests - I would
imagine that many don't. This page [
http://www.nusphere.com/kb/phpmanual/features.file-upload.put-method.htm]
gives a good-looking script, but I'm not sure what you have to modify in
Apache to make it work properly. (or .htaccess).
Is there any reason why you need to use PUT instead of POST?
