Re: rest PUT request and parameters

I'm also trying to do the same thing. Unfortunately PHP in general
doesn't seem to be very good about dealing with PUTs. See:
http://php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.put-method.php
http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.request.php
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.http-get-request-body.php#98142
