Subject: [PATCH] Get number of bytes of UTF-8 encoded POST payload

It seems that POST action of physicalgraph.device.HubAction doesn't get
length of payload correctly. Without this change size of UTF-8 payload
was smaller and InfluxDB parser complained that message isn't formatted
correctly. E.g.

    http/1.1 400 bad request

    {"error":"unable to parse '...': invalid boolean
    {"error":"unable to parse '...': missing fields

    etc

resolves: #19
