Thanks Brian, that does seem to be what I'm after, however, I couldn't make
it do what I expected.  After many attempts at solving the problem, I
defined a PUT method that seems to be called instead of the PUT_factory when
uploading from Composer into the webdav_src_port.  Is this what would be
expected?  If so, I think I misunderstand the use of PUT_factory.

cheers for the help
