The URL (and code) you mention seemed complete to me...


In that perl code, on line:

if ($ENV{'REQUEST_METHOD'} ne "PUT") { &reply(500,
"Request method is not PUT"); }


See?

You see that the METHOD of PUT is required; this is the same as calling a
CGI with a method of either GET or POST.

As far as when you say "allows a (privileged) user" - that is a trick.
You would have to either use HTTPS or some fancy basic authentication to get
that part to work...  See http://jacksonville.pm.org/source/WebPass.html for
an example of how you might go about it...
