I believe my problem is that HTTP update method on a resource which has not 
been authorized for this. I think it's authentication. I'm trying to figure 
out the correct way to configure the xitami.aut allow an HTTP put. I've 
added http-update=1 to the xitami.aut file but it's not accepting it for my 
user I configured. Maybe someone has a xitami.aut file I can see who's 
using HTTP puts to the server.

Thanks,

Sean

I believe my problem is that HTTP update method on a resource which has
not been authorized for this. I think it's authentication. I'm trying to
figure out the correct way to configure the xitami.aut allow an HTTP put.
I've added http-update=1 to the xitami.aut file but it's not accepting it
for my user I configured. Maybe someone has a xitami.aut file I can see
who's using HTTP puts to the server.

Maybe this quote from
the FAQ helps...: 
&nbsp; 
&quot; 
15: I get 'Not authorized to access this resource' on other
URLs<a name="w_15"></a> 
There are a number of specific reasons why Xitami may return this: 
<ol>
<li>The resource you are accessing is protected by a 'webmask' definition
which excludes your PC. 
<li>You are trying to browse a directory, but directory listings have not
been enabled. 
<li>You are trying to use an HTTP update method (PUT, DELETE, MOVE, or
COPY) on a resource which has not been authorised for this. 
<li>You are trying to run the WBA, but this has been disabled by the
security:admin option. 
<li>The URL refers to a Windows short filename when a long filename also
exists. Xitami rejects this as being a potential security violation. You
can switch this behaviour off by setting security:safepaths to 0. 
<li>You're trying to do a HTTP PUT, DELETE, MOVE, or COPY operation, and
specified an absolute Content-Location: or Destination: URI which did not
have the same path as the request URI. Xitami rejects this because the
authorisation was carried-out on the request URL, and using a different
path for the Content-Location: or Destination: URL would violate this. 
<li>A HTTP PUT, DELETE, MOVE, or COPY operation failed because of an
access violation at the operating system level - for instance Xitami
tried to write to a file which was marked as read-only. 
</ol>In most of these cases, the reason for the error will be logged when
you enable server debugging.

<dd>Thanks for the responses. Paul is correct, I'm just trying to update a web page via an HTTP PUT using Netscape's Composer. My understanding is that this &quot;Publish&quot; feature I'm referring to uses an HTTP Put to update the html pages to servers. I hit the server, but it returns an &quot;the server responded: You are not authorized to access this resource&quot;.

<dd>The page Xitami I'm referring that states it supports HTTP is under the User Authentication section <br><br>
