I thought at least PUT would work. Obviously not every DAV command or anything else. > There are proposals to add PUT and DELETE to the supported methods in a > future version of HTML. Well, I won't actually be using this in production this way anyway, I just wanted to do some testing at home using PUT first. Looks like I will have to use curl or another method that isn't in-browser. > Hard to be sure, but judging from your markup, you might well be using the > wrong HTTP method anyway.

I was wanting to see it first PUT the file, see if PHP accepted it, or it just said "access denied" I need to PUT a file but use a PHP script as a wrapper, and my webserver is nginx. > I note in passing that if you're intending to use that markup in production, > you should really enclose the text "File: " in a "label" element associated > with the "input" element by having a "for" attribute matching an > "id" > attribute adding to the "input".
