$ cd rebar

$ ./bootstrap

Build

1. Copy rebar executable file into this (restmail/) directory.
2. Create config file:

Usage

Demo using Python shell:

>>> import httplib2, json
>>> h = httplib2.Http()

>>> msg = json.dumps({"recipients": ["test1@example.com", "test2@example.com"],
                      "subject": "Welcome",
                      "body": "<h1>The body of this message</h2>"})

>>> r,c = h.request("http://localhost:9876/mail",
                     method="POST",
                     body=msg,
                     headers={"Content-Type":"application/json"})
