vex's Issues

POST not working

Hi,

I downloaded the version 0.2-dev of vex.phar and tryed your example

./vex.phar vex http://127.0.0.1:8000 1000 10 \
-m "POST" \
-H "accept:application/json, text/plain, */*" \
-H "accept-language:en-IN,en-GB;q=0.8,en-US;q=0.6,en;q=0.4" \
-d "{\"message\": \"Hello world! Your JustAPIs instance is running correctly.\"}"

and I get the following error:

Any help?

provide a way to pass on HTTP headers and Request body

allow passing custom additional HTTP headers and a request body via CLI Arguments.
