pvesh set /nodes/localhost/qemu/100/config --description 'test 12'

works for me here.

So with HTTP you would use a PUT request (instead of set with pvesh) to 
/nodes/localhost/qemu/100/config with the description property.

That's the correct value for digest. It is simply a SHA1 hash of the 
config file, you can then pass the digest to your set command so that 
this command aborts if someone else changed the config in the mean time.
