How do I use doPut- I want to upload a file? I can set the method to PUT and override the doPut?
What do I do beyond it? What params I send and how do I actually upload a file.
Thanks
Sanjay

Hi Sanjay,

You do not have to use PUT method. on your front end (Html form), you should set thses attributes,
enctype="multipart/form-data" method=POST
in your server site, either servlet or JSP (I guess) you parse request to get your file content.
Here is what I did.
