how to enable PUT reqests for Apache 2

I'm trying to get my apache server (2.0.55) to accept PUT requests.
I'm running winXP pro. I guess I'm doing something thath people don't
usually do...since I can't find any info on the net.
thanks for any help.

Use of the put method is strongly discouraged.

Actually, I think it's quite common. Take a look at the WebDAV module
"mod_dav.". It supports PUT and a lot more. WebDAV stands for Web-based
Distributed Authoring and Versioning.

Have fun!

i do know put is strongly discouraged but this is not a public
server. this is internal and work-specific.

So, I enabled WebDAV with these statements in my conf file:

LoadModule dav_module modules/mod_dav.so
LoadModule dav_fs_module modules/mod_dav_fs.so

<Location "C:/Tools/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs/output">
Dav On
<LimitExcept GET HEAD OPTIONS PUT>
Allow from all
</LimitExcept>
</Location>
DavLockDB "C:/Tools/Apache Group/Apache2/DAVLock"

but i still receive "method not allowed" when send a PUT request. any
ideas why?

thanks.

You should be using a <Directory> directive here. Location expects a
virtual path. Or, if .../htdocs is your web root, then it might be
sufficient to say
<Location "/output">

You should check logs/access.log and logs/error.log to see if you can
get any more information.

Thanks. '<Location "/output">' worked!!
