This is a known problem with ZopeHTTPServer. It is documented in the
CHANGES.txt file, and is also locatable with the Zope bugs and features
collector:

http://www.zope.org/Collector

Basically, rather than expend more energy to fix it, we decided to focus
instead on the new stand-alone server architecture, ZServer. This doesn't
mean we won't accept ZopeHTTPServer patches from people, it's just that we
have chosen to focus our energies elsewhere right now. In fact, I believe
that the current ZServer alpha works with PUT, though I have not tried it
myself yet.

Basically if you want to use PUT right now, you should use PCGI, or the
version of Zope that runs as a service on win32. Of course, you can always
use through the web editing.

Soon, when ZServer is rolled into the main release, PUT will work with the
stand-alone server, and you'll get FTP access to boot!
