Comment 6 for bug 1461928

a POST with form entries is a fairly useful thing but uploading a file is another angle.
Another example where a post functionality is needed is "Update the description of a particular build"

Basically that requires a post to <Build-URL>/submitDescription

It appears the only way would be to create your own urllib2 request object and set its properties to POST and other contents and then feed to jenkins_open

It would be nice if there is an explicit support for Update / Post support in somewhat CRUD style.
