Right, I tried in the latest 3.0.7 release and it still applies ok. >> Lots of web publishers use PUT method (like composer) to upload files to an >> webserver.

With the PUT method the HTTP client sends the Content-Type of the file being uploaded in the request headers. Unless you run PHP as module with PUT method support, you don't have access to the whole list of request headers. >> Didn't Manuel Lemos something to support this method in patch to add to PHP >> in October?

It still applies and works fine with PHP 3.0.7 pre as I have just tried. If you don't have time to try it, I may do it once and for all so everybody may benefit from it without having to be a wizard on applying patches, and while this patch applies fine. In the way I may write some documentation if you would wish for me to do it. >test it and apply it.

Basically it just adds one more case to the if/swicth statements that already handle the POST method, except that PUT is much simpler as it as it does not require any decoding of the uploaded data.
