Listings: Photo Uploads

This service allows the client upload a photo for a listing. Unlike the Listing: Photos resource, which requires a json payload for uploading a photo, this service supports a form based post body. Paired with the Listing: Tickets service, this service provides a simple interface to submit forms directly to the API from a web browser.
