Hi,

I have a requirement in which I have to host a URL to which another  
external application will send a file. This will not have any param  
name or query string. Basically, the external application will open  
the URL I have exposed and send the file in a put request. Can some  
one let me know how to create an action for this requirement.

thanks in Advance  
Arun
