I'm trying to do a PUT request to a Tomcat 3.2.1 instance.

Do I need to configure Tomcat in order to be able to PUT files?
Now I am doing the job via a servlet, POSTing the file coded in base64, but
it involves too much code in the client part.

The system consists in an Excel macro connecting to the Tomcat server (don't ask for 
the reasons, please :-)
I do most of the stuff via SOAP, but file uploading is slooow, and I'm
searching for alternatives.

The best option seems to be a direct PUT request to the server. I have
the next code in Excel:

  Dim con As New xmlhttp

  con.Open "PUT", url, False
  con.send sData

where sData is the result of reading the file with an ADODB.Stream object.

The problem is that it raises an error if the file does not exists in the
server (that is, the url does not map to any file), and if it exists, it
raises no error, but the file is not updated in the server.

Anybody has dealt with something like this before?

Thanks in advance
