## DESCRIPTION

Testing an HTTP Library can become difficult sometimes. [PostBin.org](http://postbin.org) is fantastic
for testing POST requests, but not much else. This exists to cover all kinds of HTTP
scenarios. Additional endpoints are being considered.

All endpoint responses are JSON-encoded.
