Hiya!

I did see that in the docs but I was unable to figure how to properly 
use it, and my searching for any examples turned up nothing...  
Specifically, I am unsure how to access some of the data that needs to 
be passed, such as the request object. The reference to cur_page also 
confuses me as the page object is what is returned from a get or post 
call, but I need to set the headers before the post is called... All in 
all, no idea how to properly use the method... :(

Thanks
-Andy
