The new document contents, which form part of the MIME multipart request, must have a content-type for which conversion is supported--for instance, to update a Google Docs document with new content, it could have content-type application/msword, or content-type text/plain, but not content-type application/vnd.ms-excel. When updating a Google Docs spreadsheet, however, content-type application/vnd.ms-excel would be appropriate. Content-types which are not supported by the document type being updated will result in an HTTP 400 Bad Request response.

  The process is exactly the same as updating a document's content above. Here is an example of appending
  the text Appending this data! to a document.
