Redfish Support multi-part HTTP Push Update

[sseekamp]

Summary

At the moment we have GPU devices that only support HTTP push Redfish update capability. Would it be possible to open a discussion around implementing that functionality?

Per #3910 I see that it isn't supported and doesn't appear to be on a roadmap that I could find.

@mraineri - thank you in advance :)

    category: Update
    command: PushUpdate
    baseuri: "{{ baseuri }}"
    username: "{{ username }}"
    password: "{{ password }}"
    update_image_file: file_to_push_to_target
    update_targets:

@sseekamp, before starting down this path, could you confirm that "/redfish/v1/UpdateService" contains the property "MultipartHttpPushUri" for your system?

[sseekamp]

  "Id": "UpdateService",
  "MaxImageSizeBytes": 205824000,
  "MultipartHttpPushUri": "/redfish/v1/UpdateService/upload",
  "Name": "Update Service",

Perfect, thanks!

Revisiting - we have another vendor that is multipart upload and not simple update capable if that helps with effort to value calculations :)

Thanks for the ping; I lost this from my radar.

I don't think it should be hard to support; most of the building blocks are in place, and the multipart encoding can be leveraged from the requests toolkit module.
