[jifty-devel] posting application/json to REST API

In the current implementation, I believe all REST formats still take
parameters as HTTP POST|GET argument -- the format only determines the
return format. I bet it'd be nice if we accepted both, especially if the
client sets the content-type correctly as you're doing.
