###testing http server with curl There is a server running at http://limitless-coast-3433.herokuapp.com/ the rest endpoint is at http://limitless-coast-3433.herokuapp.com/cars

To test out the REST-api on the heroku server, use the scripts inside the heroku_curl_tests folder

   $ ./heroku_curl_tests/get-car.sh
   $ ./heroku_curl_tests/post-car.sh
   **see post results**
   $ ./heroku_curl_tests/get-car.sh

###accessing photo data The photo value is reachable by appending to the root site: so with an example item with json:

{"name": "john", "photo": "/static/images/default.jpg", "year": "1988", "description": "roadster", "make": "honda", "engine": "1300"}

The photo would be accessible via a static folder at:

http://limitless-coast-3433.herokuapp.com/static/images/default.jpg
