=head1 Put Extension

This module allows you to upload wiki pages using the PUT request
method. For example:

    echo test | curl -T - http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/test/Mu

This will replace the Mu page with "test".

Note that you cannot use an URL that will be rewritten by Apache
mod_rewrite as the target for your PUT request. Apparently mod_rewrite
only works reliably for GET requests.
