Ok thanks, I'll look at what else it requires

Thanks.  I'll look at this as well.

I guess my thought it that I want everything to happen normally with 
the PUT except no object creation (which seemed to occur where I had 
commented it out) of the PUT method.  My workflow script and method 
from a tool still needs the content type and body for processing so 
overriding the original methods seemed a reasonable way to go.

I'm hoping to get something together enough to test today or tomorrow.
