Why URL does not support PUT method but CURL can upload the file?

I have 2 questions for the lab “HTTP Method Enumeration” in module “Introduction to Web Application Penetration Testing”.

  1. Why URL does not suport PUT method but we can use CURL to upload a file with option “–upload-file”
  2. When we send a request using OPTIONS method, the result (allowed method list) is different between CURL and BurpSuite.

I don’t have in-depth knowledge that why this is happening, but I observed that in CURL you are using http [Port 80] and in burpsuite you are using https [Port 443]. So maybe that’s why, the allowed HTTP methods are varying.
