FUNCTIONS

   initialize_unit
       Perform the boilerplate tasks that have to be done at the beginning of every unit. Takes a
       PARAMHASH with two optional parameters:

           'class' => class into which Web::Machine object is to be blessed
           'sitedir' => sitedir parameter to be passed to Web::MREST::init

   status_from_json
       Web::MREST is designed to return status objects in the HTTP response entity.  Before
       inclusion in the response, the status object is converted to JSON. This routine goes the
       opposite direction, taking a JSON string and converting it back into a status object.

       FIXME: There may be some encoding issues here!

   req
       Assemble and process a HTTP request. Takes the following positional arguments:

           * Plack::Test object
           * expected HTTP result code
           * user to authenticate with (can be 'root', 'demo', or 'active')
           * HTTP method
           * resource string
           * optional JSON string

       If the HTTP result code is 200, the return value will be a status object, undef otherwise.

   llreq
       Low-level request generator

   docu_check
       Check that the resource has on-line documentation (takes Plack::Test object and resource
       name without quotes)
