putting files with PUT

[Robin Wood <robin () digininja org>]

On a couple of tests recently Nessus has picked up that web servers
have had the PUT method enabled and has demonstrated it by putting a
file then deleting it again. I'm trying to set this up in my lab but
the only way I can find to enable PUT on Apache2 is to have it pass
the data to a PHP script which then process it from stdin. When I try
to send data it seems to expect the data in the same format as a POST

Is there a way to get Apache2 to emulate what I'm seeing on a test
where the data entered is just dropped into a file in the document
root?

This is the first time I've looked at PUT so if I've got the concept
wrong in some way let me know.
