If you look at URLConnection you'll notice that besides having a
"getInputStream" method there is a "getOutputStream" method. URL's
become bi-directional. If you only ever ask for input, the http
protocol handler does a GET. If you only ever ask for output, the http
protocol handler will *in*a*future*release* do a PUT.
The short answer is that it's not possible with the pre-beta release.
