Help patching rest_dbus.py

[guhan balasubramanian]

Hi Brad,

Thanks for getting back.

We were trying to prototype the use of the bottle web application to
POST/PUT a text/diff file to BMC, apart from the image. This is similar to
the octet-stream http request used for the image upload.

Regarding upstreaming, not sure what would be the interest for this to the
others.

Thanks,
Guhan
