I want to put a file on a http server and run a script to process that file.
Can anybody tell me how this should be done. At the moment I am thinking
that I will do a PUT, and then call a CGI script which knows the name of the
file and it's location and processes the file. However this seems a bit
cumbersome to me since it involves 2 separate http requests.

My question is how do I run a CGI script on a server, passing in a file as a
parameter?

Thanks for any info.

Dave
