I am using an application which needs to PUT a file on a HTTP server. I am using Nginx as the server but getting a 405 Not Allowed error back. Here is an example of a test with cURL:
curl -X PUT \
-H 'Content-Type: application/x-mpegurl' \
-d /Volumes/Extra/playlist.m3u8 http://xyz.com
And what I get back from Nginx:
<html>
<head><title>405 Not Allowed</title></head>
<body bgcolor="white">
<center><h1>405 Not Allowed</h1></center>
<hr><center>nginx/1.1.19</center>
</body>
</html>
What do I need to do to allow the PUT?
Any clues would be awesome!

We can enable a server block's configuration file by creating a symbolic link from the sites-available directory to the sites-enabled directory, which Nginx will read during startup. To do this, enter the following command: sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/ example.com /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
By default Nginx Web server default location is at /usr/share/nginx/html which is located on the default file system of the Linux.
The proxy_pass setting makes the Nginx reverse proxy setup work. The proxy_pass is configured in the location section of any virtual host configuration file. To set up an Nginx proxy_pass globally, edit the default file in Nginx's sites-available folder.
To add HTTP and WebDAV methods like PUT, DELETE, MKCOL, COPY and MOVE you need to compile nginx with HttpDavModule (./configure --with-http_dav_module). Check nginx -V first, maybe you already have the HttpDavModule (I installed nginx from the Debian repository and I already have the module).
Then change your nginx-config like that:
location / {
root /var/www;
dav_methods PUT;
}
You can get more info on the nginx docs entry for the HttpDavModule.

Another reason for 405 Not Allowed is that you don't have permission to write files on the destination you're PUTing. If you have HttpDavModule and still getting this error, make sure you've given nginx write permissions where you're PUTing the files.
