Hello.  To make use of the HTTP PUT method on IIS, do I need to configure or
 install anything special?

Thank you.

Nope, but you will need a script to read/manipulate the data.

Thanks for responding!

Could you please provide (i.e., point me in the direction of) such a script 
(for reading/manipulating HTTP PUT data)?

Thank you.

That all depends on what you're trying to achieve, but to test your form is
sending meaningful data:

<%
dim x
For each x in Request.Form
Response.Write x & " = " & Request.Form(x) & "<br>"
Next
%>

I've been attempting to use HttpSendRequest in a VB6 application to perform 
an HTTP PUT to a Windows 2000 Server Web server (IIS 5.0).  The code looks s
omething like:

Public Declare Function HttpOpenRequest Lib "wininet.dll" Alias "HttpOpenReq
uestA" (ByVal hConnect As Long, ByVal sVerb As String, ByVal sObjectName As 
String, ByVal sVersion As String, ByVal sReferer As String, ByVal sAcceptTyp
es As String, ByVal lFlags
As Long, ByVal lContext As Long) As Long

Public Declare Function HttpSendRequest Lib "wininet.dll" Alias "HttpSendReq
uestA" (ByVal hRequest As Long, ByVal sHeaders As String, ByVal lHeadersLeng
th As Long, ByVal sOptional As String, ByVal lOptionalLength As Long) As Int
eger
.
.
.

hHTTPOpenRequestHandle = HttpOpenRequest(hInternetConnectHandle, "PUT", "/te
st.txt", sVersion, sReferrer, sAcceptTypes, lFlagsHttpOpenRequest, lContextH
ttpOpenRequest)

iHttpSendRequestEx = HttpSendRequest(hHTTPOpenRequestHandle, "", 0, "Test_st
ring", Len("Test_string"))

When I run this code, HttpSendRequest returns TRUE as desired, indicating (I
 believe) that the request was sent to the Web server machine.  But the file
 test.txt does not get written to the machine!  What am I doing wrong?  Plea
se help or advise where I m
ight find help.

Thank you.

a vb6 newsgroup would seem to be favourite.

my server carries news:comp.lang.visual.basic which looks promising.  I
suspect there are several on the microsoft news servers.

Please allow me to step away from the coding aspects of my problem for a mom
ent.

I used the program "wfetch" (version 1.2) to attempt to perform an HTTP PUT 
to a virtual directory on the target Web server.  This directory does not pe
rmit anonymous access but does permit reads & writes.  I do not have a certi
ficate on the server.

Using Basic authentication, I get a "401 Access Denied message" from the ser
ver.  Using NTLM authentication, I get a "501 Not Supported" message.  I fee
l, thus, that the machine is not configured properly for HTTP PUT.

Any thoughts?

Thank you.

yep - stop making it hard on yourself.

allow anonymous access and place two files on the server.  The first
containing a simple HTML form with at least one input element and a submit
button - which when submitted sends the data to the second page which is an
asp page that contains the trivial script to display the data.

Is this a public server?  Does it have a URL?
