That's the difference between DirectoryResource and
PutableDirectory. ie Putable... will allow you to *create* new files
through PUT, provided:
- The new file has an acceptable extension (as defined by
  /Admin/Extensions)
- The PUT request comes with a compliant Mime type (complianjt with
the one defined for the extension
