Dan,

Part of the functionality of mod-dav as a webdav server is to handle
PUT requests transparently. I have a directory setup on our server
that uses mod-dav to enable "putting" files there, and as far as I can
tell, it works fine with most put clients, although none seem to support
resuming. Ones I have tried are cURL (7.4.2?), Winie, web folders,
web drive, dav-explorer, etc.

Here are some out takes from responses I received from the mod-dav list
regarding this:

Response:
mod_dav does support ranged PUT requests... what client are you using?
Ranged PUT can be used resuming uploads if the client is clever enough.

Response:
The client would probably do a HEAD request to find out the current
length, maybe curl can do that.

Hope that helps.
Bob
