That may be technically true, but practically support for PUT is required. Just reading the specifications you can see that support for PUT is taken for granted throughout them all. And, no existing WebDAV client can create new resources without PUT. Consequently, any WebDAV implementation that cares about interoperability with existing clients, or wants to support the rapid development of new clients using existing WebDAV implementations, has to support PUT for creation and editing resource entities. > Of course right now most servers do that, and clients do rely on it, > [...] Regards, Brian
