Comment (by adamsilverstein):

 [attachment:38131.2.diff] is a refresh of .1 against trunk with the
 following changes:
 * trim the parameters so whitespace is ignored
 * bail early if the parameter passes no fields (`?fields=`)
 * slight docs update

 @kadamwhite I agree we should support all request types. Also, I think
 should exclude `_links` when `_fields` are passed.
