[ckan-dev] CkanClient file upload & CKAN 2.2

[Nigel Babu]

Hi Stephane,

We're actually going to deprecate ckanclient as the official client in the
near future and start recommending
ckanapi<https://github.com/open-data/ckanapi>instead. ckanapi doesn't
yet support resource uploads as far as I know
though.
- I don't know of there being a resource_upload endpoint in the current
API. See the documentation<http://docs.ckan.org/en/latest/filestore.html#filestore-api>for
how it works.
- Yes, you can get the CKAN version from the `/api/action/status_show`
endpoint.
