post_ga4gh: POST to a GA4GH Server

In Rga4gh: An Interface to the GA4GH API

Description

Use this to POST a request to an operation. The operations should simply be specified as a path in the API i.e. "/datasets/search" to search datasets. The body can be json or an R list. Use the search_* functions for a simpler interface.

Arguments

client	A ga4gh_client object
operation	The API operation to POST to as a string. Eg "/datasets/search"

ref_client <- ga4gh_client("http://1kgenomes.ga4gh.org", api_location = "", log_level = 1)

## A request body as a list
body_list <- list(pageSize = 2)

## Not run:
