Hi!

I have done a client (using Delphi NetMaster component version 5.3.0 build
1055) that upload files to the web server (Apache) via FTP and HTTP.

I have problems when I use HTTP with the PUT method. I have use as a base
the perl script in http://www.apacheweek.com/issues/put1

If the files do not exist in the server the files get uploaded correctly but
if the files are already there I have all kind of problems.

How can I delete the files on the server to avoid the problem?
How can I get the filename parameter to delete it before upload?
DELETE script handler method? if so, does anyone have an example?

Any suggestions ?

Thanks in advance

You might be better off using the mod_dav module:

ok that could be an option but I would like to know why the above script works ok
if I delete the file "by hand" previous to the upload or I include a line in the
script
for example:
...
`rm /home/httpd/dir1/subdir2/file`
...

but not if I change the above line with
...
$path_info = $ENV{'FILEPATH_INFO'} || $ENV{'PATH_INFO'};
$filetodelete = "/home/httpd" . "$path_info";
`rm $filetodelete`;
...
Is PATH_INFO supposed to contain the PUT header sent by the client??

PUT /dir1/subdir2/file HTTP/1.0
...

Thanks in advance
