> The append/create requests should require 'application/octet-stream' as
> content-type when uploading data. This is to prevent the default content-type
> form-encoded (used as default by some HTTP libraries) to be used or text
> based content-types to be used.
> If the form-encoded content type is used, then Jersey tries to process the
> upload stream as parameters
> If a test base content-type is used, HTTP proxies/gateways could do attempt
> some transcoding on the stream thus corrupting the data.
