   The default behavior is to overwrite any existing object at the same
-  location. To prevent this (and make the operation return an error instead of
-  overwriting), add a "replace=false" argument, as "?t=uri&replace=false". With
-  replace=false, this operation will return an HTTP 409 "Conflict" error if
-  there is already an object at the given location, rather than overwriting the
-  existing object. Note that "true", "t", and "1" are all synonyms for "True",
-  and "false", "f", and "0" are synonyms for "False". the parameter is
-  case-insensitive. If you want this behavior only if there is an existing 
-  directory at the same location (that is, you want the operation to return an
-  error if there is a directory at the same name, but to succeed if there is a
-  file), add a "replace=only-files" argument, as "?t=uri&replace=only-files".
