Pulp already does a PUT.  The initial init call is a POST which 
initializes the upload id, then any data thats being send across to 
write to the upload file is a PUT.

Step 1: 
https://fedorahosted.org/pulp/wiki/UGREST-Services#InitiateFileUpload

Step 2: https://fedorahosted.org/pulp/wiki/UGREST-Services#AppendFileUpload

Step 3: https://fedorahosted.org/pulp/wiki/UGREST-Services#ImportFileUpload

the second step is where the bits are transmitted, and its already a PUT.
