Need support to have non-json request body

[Ragsboss]

We have a request that is expecting a binary data as request body. I'm seeing that Client.raw_request unconditionally attempts json.dumps on the data. Is there a way to get around this or can you fix it?

  File "/Users/rags/aos-cli/lib/python2.7/site-packages/http_test_client.py", line 122, in request
    url, method=method, headers=headers, data=data, **kwargs
  File "/Users/rags/aos-cli/lib/python2.7/site-packages/aos/sdk/client.py", line 269, in raw_request
    return super(Client, self).raw_request(*args, headers=headers, **kwargs)
  File "/Users/rags/aos-cli/lib/python2.7/site-packages/http_test_client.py", line 102, in raw_request
    data = json.dumps(data)
  File "/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.12/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/json/__init__.py", line 244, in dumps
    return _default_encoder.encode(obj)
  File "/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.12/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/json/encoder.py", line 201, in encode
    return encode_basestring_ascii(o)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xb4 in position 11: invalid start byte

@maximkulkin any thoughts on this?

I’m kind hesitant to add this: the idea of this library is simple client that you can quickly bootstrap your integration testing with. Thus the main focus is at supporting JSON services, not a full featured HTTP client.
