HTTP writing

["Michael Terry" <mike mterry name>]

Hello, list!

I'm working on an Amazon S3 backend in my spare time.  Amazon S3 uses
basic HTTP commands like GET/HEAD/PUT/DELETE, etc. with some custom
XML for enumerating and some other quirks.

I am subclassing the HTTP backend, naturally.  But that backend has
none of the writing calls for PUT, nor a handler for DELETE.  Those
are in the DAV backend.

Since I'd rather not duplicate all that code (and subclassing DAV
isn't necessarily the right thing to do either), would ya'll accept a
patch that moves the generic PUT/DELETE stuff into the HTTP backend?
