Does webrick support the http PUT command?

The subject line pretty much sums it up. I'm having trouble finding
documentation on whether or not webrick supports the http 1.1 PUT
command. Also, if the answer is yes, is it done in manner similar to
Apache (with a server side script that handles the actual file copy)?

Thanks,
Andrew

Apparently so (1), and apparently not (2):

===[server.rb]===
require 'webrick'

s = WEBrick::HTTPServer.new(:Port => 8086)

class PutServlet < WEBrick::HTTPServlet::AbstractServlet
   def do_PUT(req, res)

     # do what you like with the data here...

     res['Content-Type'] = "text/html"
     res.body = "Okay guv'nor, #{req.body} is 'put'..."
   end
end

s.mount("/putter", PutServlet)

trap("INT"){ s.shutdown }
s.start
===[END]===

===[putter.rb]==
require 'net/http'

h = Net::HTTP.new('localhost',8086)
r = h.put('/putter','A bit of the old data')
puts "And our server says: #{r.body}"
===[END]===

===[OUTPUT]===
And our server says: Okay guv'nor, A bit of the old data is 'put'...
===[END]===

So it's handled however you want it to be...
