Upload

Defweb facilitates uploading files to the document root via the PUT command.

Example for 'curl' and wget (the -k switch (curl) and
--no-check-certificate (wget) is needed because Defweb uses self signed certificates).

curl -X PUT --upload-file file.txt https://localhost:8000 -k
wget -O- --method=PUT --body-file=file.txt https://localhost:8000/somefile.txt --no-check-certificate
