Description:After some initial testing, it looks like support for POSTing content as json to ARI is not supported.

{code}
$ curl -i -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'Authorization: Basic x1x2x3' -H 'Accept: application/json' -H 'User-Agent: python-ari' -d '{"endpoint": "local/1"}' http://localhost:8088/ari/channels

HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
content-length: 45
server: Asterisk/SVN-trunk-r396505M
connection: close
cache-control: no-cache, no-store
date: Sun, 13 Oct 2013 23:03:14 GMT
content-type: application/json

{
 "message": "Endpoint must be specified"
}
{code}

From a library point of view, it would be great to keep the data formatted constantly throughout vs converting it for different HTTP actions.

For the initial version of the API, only query and path parameters are supported. Yes, I feel a bit gross POSTing with query parameters, but that's where we are today.

{code}
$ curl -i -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'Authorization: Basic x1x2x3' -H 'Accept: application/json' -H 'User-Agent: python-ari' 'http://localhost:8088/ari/channels?endpoint=local/1'
{code}

So I would call this a 'feature request' instead of a 'bug'.

I'd say it's an improvement as well, but one we're going to need for both UserEvents from ARI as well as other resources (MWI, Device State, etc.)
