PUT example uses form data and lacks binary data example

[mlt]

It took me a while to figure out how to feed data to Apache Tika Server content analyzer as it wants simple PUT with binary file content.
The equivalent for

curl -T somestuff.dat http://localhost:9998/meta --header "Accept: application/json"

would be

uri = URI.parse('http://localhost:9998/meta')
http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
dat = File.read('somestuff.dat')
response = http.request_put(uri.path, dat, Accept: 'application/json', 'Content-Type': 'application/octet-stream')

Thanks for the PUT example with binary data.
