4432.0. "Tool to PUT a file to a URL?" by LGP30::FLEISCHER (without vision the people perish (DTN 381-0426 ZKO1-1)) Thu Jan 30 1997 11:42

I just upgraded our main server to the Netscape Enterprise server, and in support
of our editorial staff I've enabled the http PUT method ("write access" to 
"remote file manipulation", as the server's management pages describe it) behind
a password.

Uploads ("Publish") from Netscape Navigator GOLD V3.01 work just fine with this.

However, we don't always want to use Netscape Navigator GOLD V3.01 to create
or edit our files, and I can see no way to just do a "publish" without
getting the Netscape editor involved (and its changes, sometimes just in the
layout of the markup, that it makes even if we make no changes and do not "save").

Is there any tool (for a Windows 95 or NT desktop) that simply allows a file
(HTML, GIF, or other) to be PUT to a URL (on a server that supports PUT)?  It would
have to support username/password basic access control.

Thanks,
Bob

4432.1	The Web Publishing Wizard (WPWIZ)...	CPEEDY::COOK	Just say NO to that AccViO! - Java!!!	`Thu Jan 30 1997 15:50`	10
	Sure. It's called 'WPWIZ' (Web Publishing Wizard). There are both 16-bit and 32-bit Windows implementions around. As I recall, I got my copy (for Windows-NT) from Microsoft's web site. (An earlier 16-bit one came with the software supplied by my ISP [Sprynet].) The basic API is/was also documented on Microsoft's web site. Hope this helps... Dave
4432.2	doesn't do HTTP PUT!	LGP30::FLEISCHER	without vision the people perish (DTN 381-0426 ZKO1-1)	`Thu Jan 30 1997 17:44`	13

It seems to support two transfer mechanisms -- FTP and Windows file transfer. It does not appear to give one the choice of HTTP PUT. Bob

See (for example) http://www.dpac.tas.gov.au/~mgb/help/tute-includes.html which describes "NCSA httpd server side includes". I didn't read this carefully enough to understand what is going on, but this sounds like something that should never actually show up in an HTTP response. So perhaps you are dealing with a buggy server, or with a server that was configured using a .mime.types file that was meant for use with different software? -Jeff [posted by Notes-News gateway]
