http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8311 error in PUT directive gives confusing error messages Summary: error in PUT directive gives confusing error messages Product: Apache httpd-1.3 Version: 1.3.24 Platform: All OS/Version: FreeBSD Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: core AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Misunderstanding the examples of setting up PUT, I coded the following directive in a directory section on a virthost: Script PUT /var/www/virthost/somesite/put.pl This did not work. When attempting to access it, however, I got an error message that I did not have permission to use the PUT directive on /var/www/virthost/somesite/put.pl/dir/putfile. The error log showed 'Invalid URI in request PUT /dir/putfile'. Neither of these error messages made it clear to me that the issue was that PUT was expecting a URI, while I had coded a file system path. In general in Apache I thought that one referred to scripts via filesystem paths and *not* URLs, for security reasons. IMO, there must be a way for the script PUT to recognize that its argument is not a valid script, and report *that* in the error message.
