Dear Monk,
Welcome to the Monastery, I see you joined us today. Before I go further I'd like to direct your attention to some information that may be of service to you:

• this section of our Tutorials for starters with this page in particular so you can learn your way around the Monastery.
• Next would be this tutorial since there is a right way and many wrong ways to ask questions.
• Specific to your question here is a good place to start

I'm working on a REST api proxy, and I've run into a problem handling the large quantities of PUT data that come through occasionally.

The college professor in me immediately wants to know what have you tried and what is failing? Your question is awfully generic so giving you advice on how to proceed is nearly impossible. What format is your data message to your CGI script in given you state that it is not originating from an HTML form?

We're here to help, but the better you define your problem and show us what is failing will determine the quality of your experience here.

Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!

Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.

Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.

Please read these before you post! —
