Thanks for going all the way and provide a AMI for testing, ermouth!
It's going to be an interesting weekend
3 questions:
1) could you post an examples here for simpel rewrite function with all
parameters in use?
2) can you confirm that you now can turn a GET into a PUT and if you need to,
redirect to an _update function?
3) do you see this replacing the _update function?

PS
Thanks for supporting, Alexander
