Description Julian Reschke 2007-07-26 03:30:58 UTC
The following headers in a PUT request should either be evaluated, or lead to a
501 status (see RFC2616, Section 9.6, Paragraph 1, last sentence):

  Content-Range, Content-MD5

In addition, all request headers starting with "Content-" not understood by the
server should cause a 501 status, such as:

  Content-Foobar

This is currently not the case.
