Description of problem: Our REST api has a little inconvenience. We add 'links' to response bodies (for example resource, alert def and almost everything else). This is good. But if a client wants to send such body back, server does not accept such object (with 'links' key)

This is inconvenient for clients, because they have to "clean up" a body from links

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHQ 4.8-master

How reproducible: always

Consider auto-import discovery queue script:

resources = requests.get(endpoint+'resource?status=NEW').json()
for res in resources:
    res['status'] = 'committed'
    req = requests.put(endpoint+'resource/%d' % res['resourceId'],data=json.dumps(res))


Actual results: this code does not work, because in $res body are links, server refuses such resource.

Expected results: server should ignore links (or maybe any other unknown keys within resource body)
