[reprint]An excellent way to add request.PUT to Django

[Ph0enixxx]

def coerce_put_post(request):
    """
    The try/except abominiation here is due to a bug
    in mod_python. This should fix it.
    """
    if request.method == "PUT":
        # Bug fix: if _load_post_and_files has already been called, for
        # example by middleware accessing request.POST, the below code to
        # pretend the request is a POST instead of a PUT will be too late
        # to make a difference. Also calling _load_post_and_files will result
        # in the following exception:
        #   AttributeError: You cannot set the upload handlers after the upload has been processed.
        # The fix is to check for the presence of the _post field which is set
        # the first time _load_post_and_files is called (both by wsgi.py and
        # modpython.py). If it's set, the request has to be 'reset' to redo
        # the query value parsing in POST mode.
        if hasattr(request, '_post'):
            del request._post
            del request._files

        try:
