>>> from custom_api import Resource
>>> my_api = Resource('127.0.0.1', '/api/v1/:endpoint/:id', 8080, {'Content-Type':'application/json', 'charset':'utf-8'})
>>> response = my_api.post({'refreshToken':'8ds8f6e8y'}, {'endpoint':'auth/http'})
>>> print response
{'status': '200 HTTP/1.1', 'headers': [('content-length', '325'), ('x-powered-by', 'Express'), ('connection', 'keep-alive'), ('etag', 'W/"145-IwBmyNr5CxYlU9bhtX2UaQ"'), ('date', 'Wed, 18 Jan 2017 12:12:31 GMT'), ('access-control-allow-origin', '*'), ('content-type', 'application/json; charset=utf-8')], 'data': '{"token":"eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ97l53MiOiJodHRwOi8vdHdlbmRlLnRlY=="}'}
