update content in the AppDB Database.
• Typical use case: The API could used by the grid/cloud developer
environments, for registering new software in the EGI AppDB Database as
part of their development projects.
• Authenticated access: apikey, username, password
• Defining net filters: location of the portal/service making use of the apikey
