You are right (and your steps are exactly the right overview of what's happening). Sorry for the confusion (it's very difficult for me to make sure that everything is set properly, I often forget things that seems obvious to me, but which are not in fact, sorry again). What you want to do is to update the /Admin/Extensions/html extension, and make all html files editable by default (eg turn putable flag to true for the html extension). Once this is done, all html FileResource created *after that point*, will inherit the putable flag value (eg true), and in particular the resources created through PUT. Of course, once you have done this, make sure you have an authentication filter on the root resource of your server, that allows the PUT method only to the appropriate persons... Let me know how it goes, Anselm.
