Test file upload using HTTP PUT method

Question

I ve written a service using HTTP PUT method for uploading a file  Web Browsers don t support PUT so I need a method for testing  It works great as a POST hitting it from a browser  update  This is what worked  I tried Poster but it suffers from the same thing as using fiddler  You have to know how to build the request  curl takes care of the problem  curl -X PUT  quot localhost 8080 urlstuffhere quot  -F  quot file  filename quot  -b  quot JSESSIONID cookievalue quot

In my opinion the best tool for such testing is curl  Its --upload-file option uploads a file by PUT  which is exactly what you want  and it can do much more  like modifying HTTP headers  in case you need it   curl http   myservice --upload-file file txt
