Since we were busy implementing, and missed noticing that PUT and DELETE had been dropped out of the HTTP/1.0 specs, the AOLserver <http://www.aolserver.com/> handles PUT and DELETE requests. As an example, AOLpress <http://www.aolpress.com/> uses these methods (or their cousins, for <ftp://> URLs) to provide a combined editing/browsing environment. We used to provide a publically accessible server to demonstrate these methods; however, our lawyers made us take it down. The software itself is still free, so you can download it and try it on your own system. -Dave Long Wir haben auch einen "mirror site" im Deutschland gehabt -- "LEO", ich denke.
