Uploading files via PUT method, even binary or text, via a "normal web browser" is possible.
Why many people are just saying, that is not possible ?

Sample code with jQuery and PHP.

```
$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#uploadbutton").click(function() {
        var filename = $("#file").val();
        $.ajax({ 
        type: "PUT",
        url: "addFile.do",
           enctype: 'multipart/form-data',
           data: {file: filename},
          success: function(){
               alert( "Data Uploaded: ");
            }
        });     
    });
});

```

On the server side just read the STDIN stream like

```
<?php
/* PUT data comes in on the stdin stream */
$putdata = fopen("php://input", "r");

/* Open a file for writing */
$fp = fopen("myputfile.ext", "w");

/* Read the data 1 KB at a time
   and write to the file */
while ($data = fread($putdata, 1024))
  fwrite($fp, $data);

/* Close the streams */
fclose($fp);
fclose($putdata);
?>

```
