Having pressed send, I thought about this some more.  Ideally we should
have a set of samples demonstrating the use of cUrl with ooRexx and I
wonder if it wouldn't be really nice if they demonstrated using a restful
interface with the JSON class.

I have code for a GET and a POST using JSON class with Mark's rexx/cUrl,
but it was really a novice scrabbling around in the dark.  If anyone could
produce samples demonstrating POST & GET, along with PUT, PATCH & DELETE it
would be a great resource.
