Ross,
David is correct, Apache::ASP does no special handling of non-GET/POST
requests. So you could put similar code to the above in your global.asa
Script_OnStart event to handle the PUT/DELETE as you see fit. If
you think your code would be a valuable contribution to the project
it may be possible to integrate it into Apache::ASP directly.
