OK I think I follow up to a point.. so Lift needs to know that it's
multipart to work correctly with a put, and it doesn't.  That much I
get, seems like Put is just broken. What I don't understand is that
last bit though..  When you say:

> req.body property
Where could you do that?  I don't build the requests myself, so would
I have to modify the Lift code to do this?  Is there an extension
point to make that happen?  (like set request builder here or
something and a class I can extend)
