ok first step, u sure you can access eXist e.g. u sending right creds
or have it setup to be writeable by guest ?

you will need to give a name to the new document e.g.
http://localhost:8080/exist/rest/db/test.xml

are trying to upload binary document ?

a simple HTTP PUT should work but u need to check access, make sure u
are slinging xml (if thats your intention), give it a name ... u sure
u dont see anything in the eXist logs (usually here
webapp/WEB-INF/logs/exist.log)
