Yepp, I invoked it using the following URL (I've masked my IP addresses):
http://xx.xx.1.109:8080/lps-4.0.2/my-apps/test.lzx?lzproxied=false&lzr=dhtml

LiveHTTPHeaders says that my request is being sent via POST:

POST 
/lps-4.0.2/my-apps/test.lzx?lzt=xmldata&reqtype=PUT&sendheaders=false&trimwhitespace=false&nsprefix=false&url=http%3A%2F%2Fxx.xx.1.103%2Fol%2Ftestquery.php&timeout=30000&cache=false&ccache=undefined&__lzbc__=1182135566349

Pragma: no-cache
Cache-Control: no-cache

The request, when viewed in my webserver's logs, has been transformed 
(by the LPS proxy?) to GET though:

xx.xx.1.109 xx.xx.1.103 - [18/Jun/2007:10:56:54 +0800] "GET 
/ol/testquery.php HTTP/1.1" 200 37 
"http://xx.xx.1.109:8080/lps-4.0.2/my-apps/test.lzx?lzt=html&lzr=dhtml&lzproxied=false" 
"Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD amd64; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061125 
Firefox/2.0"

Here is the code for test.lzx:


<canvas width="800" debug="true">
  <debug y="200"/>
  <dataset type="http" name="testquery" querytype="PUT"
           src="http://xx.xx.1.103/ol/testquery.php"/>
  <view>
     <inputtext width="90" name="t">weeee</inputtext>
     <button>  submit
       <handler name="onclick">
	var d = canvas.datasets.testquery;
         Debug.write("sending request...");
         d.doRequest();
       </handler>
     </button>
     <simplelayout axis="x"/>
  </view>
</canvas>



Anyway, I'm very grateful that you have already submitted a patch for 
PUT and DELETE.  Thank you very much! :)
