PUT is a HTTP method which requests that the enclosed entity be stored under the supplied URL.

PUT is a HTTP method which requests that the enclosed entity be stored under the supplied URL. If the URL refers to an already existing resource, the enclosed entity should be considered as a modified version of the one residing on the origin server. If the URL does not point to an existing resource, and that URL is capable of being defined as a new resource by the requesting user agent, the origin server can create the resource with that URL.
