PUT request results in 403 Forbidden - Need Apache to allow PUT requests

Question

I am building a RESTFUL API and need to get Apache to accept PUT requests. Whenever I put to a URL, I am getting a 403 Forbidden error.

curl -X PUT api.example.com/api/foo

I have tried to add the following to my Virtual Directory (To no avail):

<Limit GET POST PUT DELETE HEAD OPTIONS>
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Limit>
<LimitExcept GET POST PUT DELETE HEAD OPTIONS>
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
</LimitExcept>

What other config settings might be causing this?

EDIT

I am re-writing my URL's, all get re-written to index.php as follows:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /api/index.php/$1 [L,QSA]

Edit:

Add this to your Apache conf:

 Script PUT /api/index.php

This assumes your actual handler script is called index.php and it's located on /api.
