Sending data through POST request

import httplus

    'surname': 'Blaster'
}
client = httplus.Client()
res = await client.post('http://someserver/api/customers', data=data)

The data parameter can be a dict, list or a binary object. A dict or a list passed by data param will be interpreted like JSON format data. If a binary data like a pdf or an image file is been sending, a header content mime type need to be informed by headers param.

import httplus
...
image = b'<some_image_binary>'
headers = {
    'Content-Type': 'image/png'
}
url = 'http://someserver/api/books'
...
client = httplus.Client()
res = await client.post(url=url, data=image, headers=headers)
print(res.status)
# 200
