Add time.Time support for URL encoded POST requests

Thanks for the suggestion! Could see this being a common use case.

However, AFAIK there's no standard for converting time to url-encoded format. Any ideas for what format to use? Unix time? RFC3339 or some other standard from the std lib? As it stands now my advice would be to just store times in Unix format (seconds since the epoch) since everything in your stack (frontend, http layer, server, database) can deal with ints in a predictable way.

Ah interesting. I ended up using JSON instead of URL-encoded and that worked well enough for my needs:

rest.SetContentType(rest.ContentJSON)
err := rest.Create(&workHours)
if err != nil {
    console.Log(err.Error())
    return
}
