Saving a file on the server w/ js, ie no server code

I am creating an XML document on my page with javascript. My question
is, is it possible to save that xml file on the server (I have write
permissions) only using javascript, ie no server code? This task would
be trivial using server code, but I was wondering if I can do it all
with client code and post backs? Well, any input?

Thanks,
Alex

You could try a HTTP PUT request with the body of the request being the
XML. That is possible (in theory) with XMLHttpRequest/XMLHTTP, not sure
all implementations support HTTP PUT. On the other hand having a server
open to accept a PUT without some sort of protection is not a good idea.
And if you have some authentication in place then the code on your web
page would show the credentials to the rest of the world.
