Thank you! I wonder, if I can set up a custom 404 error page to handle the PUT operation if it posts with a specific filename instead of the location of a CF template. I will review that further. This is enough to get me going in the right direction, thanks!

A PUT operation doesn't necessarily mean that they are putting a file on your server. It is just an HTTP Verb. You can choose to respond to it however you like. One way would be WebDAV which really would "put" the file onto your server. Another option, which allows you more control in your code, is to have them do a PUT operation to a url like http://youserver.com/receiveput.cfm and then use GetHttpRequestData() to get the content of what they sent, parse it, then do your thing. I have a site that has an api on it to receive JSON in the HTTP request body from a .NET app with a PUT and it works just fine with GetHttpRequestData(). No modifications to IIS were required as I recall.
