>>> conn.close()
+Client side ``HTTP PUT`` requests are very similar to ``POST`` requests. The
+difference lies only the server side where HTTP server will allow resources to
+be created via ``PUT`` request. Here is an example session that shows how to do
+``PUT`` request using http.client::
+
+ >>> # This creates an HTTP message
+ >>> # with the content of BODY as the enclosed representation
+ >>> # for the resource http://localhost:8080/foobar
+ ...
+ >>> import http.client
+ >>> BODY = "***filecontents***"
+ >>> conn = http.client.HTTPConnection("localhost", 8080)
+ >>> conn.request("PUT", "/file", BODY)
+ >>> response = conn.getresponse()
+ >>> print(resp.status, response.reason)
+ 200, OK
