We had a discussion of this a few months back.  The conclusion was  
that the spec might be a little vague, but most implementations

PUT requires an entity

I've noticed that if i do a PUT to a resource with an empty entity I  
get a BAD_REQUEST status code. Is it part of the HTTP spec that the  
PUT must contain a non-null entity.
