8.6. PUT The PUT method requests that the enclosed entity be stored under the supplied Request-URI.
Several people thought "under" implies "at a subpath of the Request-URI". To reduce confusion, this should be changed from "under" to "at".
Fixed in [241]:
Resolve #112: replace "to be stored under the supplied Request-URI" by "... at ....". (closes #112).
