Re: PUT method

What exactly is a PUT method? At last check, there was no such method. 

Perhaps netscape implements it as an alias to 'POST', but to the best 
of my knowledge there are TWO methods: POST and GET. 

PUT sounds like a netscape-ism, and probably should be avoided in the 
name of standards. :)
