A good question. We should maybe consider adding an option that maps
uploaded content to parameters if the Content-Type is application/x-
www-form-urlencoded.
For now, subclass AgaviWebRequest and overwrite initialize():
public function initialize(AgaviContext $context, array $parameters =
array()) {
parent::initialize($context, $parameters);
$rd = $this->getRequestData();
if($this->getMethod() == 'create' && $rd->getHeader('Content-Type')
== 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded') {
$data = $rd->getFile($this->getParameter('http_put_file_name'));
// decode data and set parameters
$rd->removeFile($this->getParameter('http_put_file_name'));
}
}
Note that right now, custom HTTP method mappings are not set back as
parameters on the request object, so you cannot read them without code
duplication. See ticket http://trac.agavi.org/ticket/724 (and also
http://trac.agavi.org/ticket/725)
. I'll fix those tonight.

Absolutely:
<parameter name="method_names">
<parameter name="PUT">write</parameter>
<parameter name="POST">create</parameter>
</parameter>
for the <request> in factories.xml.
Hope that helps,
David
