For bonus points, here's a bit of client-side code that will produce a
request that has a body suitable for reading via ``request.json_body`` using
Python's ``urllib2`` instead of a Javascript AJAX request:

.. code-block:: python

    import urllib2
    import json        

    json_payload = json.dumps({'a':1})
    headers = {'Content-Type':'application/json; charset=utf-8'}
    req = urllib2.Request('http://localhost:6543/', json_payload, headers)
    resp = urllib2.urlopen(req)
