//The PUT Method
// The PUT method requests that the enclosed entity be stored
// under the supplied URL. If the URL refers to an already
// existing resource, the enclosed entity should be considered
// as a modified version of the one residing on the origin server.
// If the URL does not point to an existing resource, and that
// URL is capable of being defined as a new resource by the
// requesting user agent, the origin server can create the
// resource with that URL.
// If the request passes through a cache and the URL identifies
// one or more currently cached entities, those entries should
// be treated as stale. Responses to this method are not cacheable.
// Common Problems
// The PUT method is not widely supported on public servers
// due to security concerns and generally FTP is used to
// upload new and modified files to the webserver.
// Before executing a PUT method on a URL, it may be worth
// checking that PUT is supported using the OPTIONS method.
