Hi Christopher, First of all: thanks for spending time on my problem!
I think you understand the general problem I've got. Yes your right, we did some changes on Tomcat but I just installed a new instance on another computer and tried it out in that environment but it still doesn't work. The headers of both messages look very similar - in fact the "prefixes" are different - and as far as I know http the PUT-request seems to be fine. So I think it has nothing to do with that. I just read on the internet that it works with Tomcat 4.x. Somewhere else I read about a similar problem with Tomcat 5.x and that one has to change/disable the security manager. That's my current status and I just start reading about it. So hopefully I get it done... :-) I don't use Apache for that project, it is a pure Tomcat-installation - nothing more. So far again many thanks Philipp 2006/10/20, Christopher Schultz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

You can decompile HttpServlet from the servlet API and see the code right in there.

So, you are not only /not/ getting doPut() invocations, but you are also not getting any service() invocations, either?

So using GET or POST through your browser works with this URL, but not PUT, using some other tool. > I also traced the TCP-connection using Ethereal and found out that > both the HTML-form and the "PUT-program" send data to the Servlet.

Have you modified any configuration from the default Tomcat configuration? Tomcat should allow this right out of the box. > And by the way: even Apache doesn't accept PUT-requests by default. That's because there is no built-in handler for PUT requests (and I'm sure it would be a security problem if there were). Are you using Apache in front of Tomcat? If so, is Apache rejecting the request, or is Tomcat doing it? I suspect that you haven't allowed for a PUT request to be made to your URL, and Apache is stopping the request before it even gets to Tomcat. -chris
