Description

According to the 1.1 Sparql protocol spec table at:
http://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-protocol/#query-operation

A urlencoded post should use the "query" parameter for the query, currently marmotta seems to be using the "update" parameter which is wrong.
This causes the user to get a 400 reponse saying with the (currently confusing) message "no SPARQL query specified"

Test that reproduces this below:

    @Test
    public void testUpdate() throws IOException, InterruptedException {

        String insert =
                "PREFIX dc: <http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/>\n" +
                "INSERT DATA { <http://example/egbook3> dc:title \"This is an example title\" }";

        expect().
            log().ifError().
                statusCode(200).
                given().
                contentType("application/x-www-form-urlencoded").
                header("Accept", "application/xml").
                formParameter("query", insert).
                when().
                post("/sparql/update");
    }
