This is not true, HTTP does PUT requests as well as GET requests. It's just
that most servers have the option turned off. Assuming that he has it turned
on, it shouldn't be a problem.
With httplib, a snippet for putting index.html would look something like this:
import httplib
connection = httplib.HTTP("www.mywebserver.org",80)
connection.putrequest('PUT','/index.html')
connection.putheader('Content-type','text/html') # Guessing
connection.endheaders()
connection.send('<html></html>') # Insert your data here
connection.getreply() # Send everything, stop sending, get some reply
Something like this would work, but I haven't tried it out.
