Apply bytes at a given offset (tus)

Apply bytes contained in the message at a given offset (tus protocol PATCH request). Note that the tus server only accepts that the Content-Type response header is set to application/offset+octet-stream. See tus.io for details.

Note that the server may return 423 Locked on this request. This happens if the client attempts to perform concurrent access to the resource, for example, if attempting to do a HEAD request during an ongoing PATCH request. It can also occur in situations where the connection is unexpectedly dropped between the client and the server and the client attempts to make a new request when the server is still busy processing the upload. When this happens, the client shall, after some period of time, try to resume the upload again.
