iTP Secure WebServer System Administrators Guide (Version 7.5+)

Clearly, there are security concerns when a client can directly update content on the server. To
use PUT safely, you must provide a CGI script that authenticates the client and performs any other
necessary functions to determine whether the client should be permitted to make the requested
update. Note that this script must include these environment variables: PATH_INFO,
PATH_TRANSLATED, and SCRIPT_NAME.The variable CGI-script-filename is required and
specifies the location of the script that performs these functions for the server or within the region.
The iTP Secure WebServer returns an error to the client upon receiving a PUT request in any of
these cases:
• If the PutScript directive is not specified for the server or the region to which the request
applies, the iTP Secure WebServer returns the error (404 NOT_FOUND).
• If the PutScript request is specified but does not include CGI-script-location, the startup
fails.
• If the PutScript request is specified but the specified script cannot be found, the iTP Secure
WebServer returns the error (404 NOT_FOUND).
• If the client does not support HTTP/1.1 or later, the iTP Secure WebServer returns the error
(400 BAD-REQUEST)
