Get rid of row character-count limitation about hsbencher HOT 2 CLOSED

here's some python sample code

this "method override" isn't necessarily google-specific, it seems -- but everyone has their own way of doing this. here's a dated-looking page

the code itself is easy, though:

• change method from GET to POST
• add query params to the body as a urlencoded string (so something like a=1&q=foo)
• set headers['content-length'] = <length of body string>
• set headers['content-type'] = 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
• drop query from the url
• set headers['x-http-method-override'] = 'GET'

I think this is deprioritized for now because I went ahead and added a bulkImportRows to handa-gdata (0.6.9) and switched HSbencher over to using that in version 1.5. But it's a good trick to know.

(Additionally, HSBencher is somewhat smart now and will handle arbitrary differences in the server side schema during results upload.)
