it's more than mysterious

calling "showaq(self, ' html ')" from  "manage_addHTMLDocument" (creating an instance via Zope's
Managment Interface) says:

 HTMLDocument
  |
 <ProductDispatcher instance at 8102880>
  |
 HTMLFolder
  |
 Zope
  |
 <RequestContainer instance at 886b2f8>

Uploading a file via FTP and calling "showaq(self, ' html ')" from PUT method says NOTHING !!!

Why?
