Httpd and Httpd.conf Confusion Please Clarify ?
|
|
|
| I am using Linux Machine.
I want to use HTTP for File Transfers.
I can "GET" a file. Where as "PUT" is a problem.
I am getting an error."The Requested Method PUT is NOT allowed for the
URL. /hello.txt"
I searched the Web and included the line in httpd.conf
<LIMIT GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND PUT>
Allow from all
</LIMIT>
But still i am getting the same error. What to do ?.
I read the documentation. But What i think it says is u must have some
script in cgi/perl language to handle the put command.
I Did NOT understand the what it means. I just want to store some
files
in the remote machine using HTTP.
I am confused with the available documention.
Does this mean,
If I Dont know CGI I cannot handle the "PUT".
What to do ?.
I am confused ?.
Please Help.
Regards,
James

| PUT method is used to submit information to the server, usually action from
a form.
You have to code something on the server side to handle that. If you google
for it, you will find lot of sample code to achieve this.

I believe PUT is a WebDAV method. If WebDAV has not been configured for
your instance, the PUT method will not be available to you. You can
check using the OPTIONS method.

| In order to upload through the httpd, regardless of the technique, you
have to do something special. I don't know of a server that handles PUT
by default so if you want to use that method you have to install a
handler for PUT. As Aaron said that would typically be through a WebDAV
module. The most common way to do this, though, is not through the PUT
method but through a form-based upload using POST. See
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1867.txt for info on that. It's supported by
common CGI, ASP and Java libraries.
