Spring MVC Framework: MultipartResolver with PUT method

Question

I\'m developing a spring mvc app with framework 3.2.3.RELEASE

In my app I handle Multipart with StandardServletMultipartResolver, but with apache commons-fileupload

Answer 1

PUT refers to a single resource, for example one file. So, by definition, a multi-part form doesn't match the PUT verb.

So I guess they made these checks for POST to be able to apply to the HTTP specs: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec9.html

I guess you could argue that PUTting a custom object that contains multiple fields, including one or more files, should be ok, it could still be considered as being one resource in REST terms, but this is not the way most implementers seem to interpret this.
