Re: [libmicrohttpd] PUT and DELETE

[Christian Grothoff]

/AFAIK, t/he only difference between PUT and POST is that PUT must be 
idempotent. That is a semantic distinction of relevance to your 
application, it changes nothing for the wire protocol or the MHD API.

MHD internally makes no distinction between PUT and POST and will pass 
you all  of the data in the same way(s).  Which way you get the PUT data 
depends -- just as with POST -- on the specifics of how you instructed 
the browser to submit it.

Happy hacking!
