The test is performed from the http_methods.nasl plugin. As far as I can
tell, it's storing and deleting a file on the target server with the PUT
and DELETE methods allowed by HTTP. This is usally a Bad Thing (tm) since
you probably don't want strangers adding and deleting files on your
server.

It could be a badly written ASP file, I guess. Then again, maybe not.  
You'd have to look at the errors and the log (if there is one), compare it
to the server log, and see if you have a false positive. It happens.
