The problem is the following: I don't want to enable PUT in the default distribution. That's why all predefined extensions have the putable flag set to false by default (security concerns). This means that if someone like you (and me ;-) have to re-configure all the extensions before being able to edit through PUT. Turning the putable flag for all sub-resources of PutableDirectory could be an option, but there would be a slight problem propagating it. Antonio Ramirez (the author of the new SSIResource) will spend some time working on a new indexing scheme (hopefully an extension rather then a redesign ;-) that might (as a side effect) help finding a better solution to that. > A nice application for PutableDirectory: > > Everyone can browse to his homepage, modify it and put it back to the ser= > ver. > For that purpose I defined the GenericAuthFilter only for method PUT on d= > irectory PEOPLE. That's the way I am using Jigsaw to edit it's documentation. If you'r an adept of CVS, you can even use the form-based interface to CVS, this provides a really powerfull mean of editing files...
