Comment (by kevan):

 attachment:393status32.dpatch teaches the webapi how to upload new files
 as MDMF and SDMF, based on a new {{{mutable-type}}} parameter. Thinking
 about it, I'm fairly sure that I don't like the way I chose to do that for
 the {{{POST}}} verb, so I'll probably change that tomorrow. I also
 introduced a {{{mutable.format}}} configuration knob in {{{tahoe.cfg}}},
 which can be set to {{{sdmf}}} or {{{mdmf}}} and configures the default
 behavior of new mutable file creation as suggested by davidsarah in
 comment:58. Once I rework the {{{POST}}} verb, or convince myself that the
 implementation won't make the WUI-side part of this as clunky as I think
 it will now, I'll start working on hooking up the WUI and the CLI to this
 behavior. I'm really hoping to have that done tomorrow. I'll then work on
 documentation over the weekend.
