Vijay added the ability to send userdata as POST for the deployVirtualMachine API in review [1]. What I'd like to address here is how to expose this via ApiDiscovery so that clients like marvin, cloudmonkey can autogenerate themselves to support APIs of this kind. This also needs to be clearly specified in our API docs.
I'm guessing we'll have to put in additional annotations on our APIs that support POST so that API discovery can print the methods supported (GET/POST). Right now it's only the deployVMCmd (AFAIK). But I expect this will need to be done for others soon. I've included POST support for _every_ command in marvin but that's just brute-force. To make it more intelligent I think we should apply it to only apis that make sense as POST (causing side-effects). But that needs to be exposed by the api endpoint. Thoughts?
