Simply the fact that HTTP/1.x do not allow upgrades of defined methods in this manner. If this "partial PUT" is sent to a server that do not understand it would result in breakage, therefore it can not be accepted as an extension of the existing PUT method. Instead it needs to use a new method, making sure that breakage do not occur if the request is attepmted somewhere where it's not supported. Regards Henrik
