Simple example to show how to make HTTP requests using a HTTP Client. full test.

data class Book(val author: String, val title: String)

private val books: MutableMap<Int, Book> = linkedMapOf(
    100 to Book("Miguel de Cervantes", "Don Quixote"),

        val author = queryParameters.require("author")
        val title = queryParameters.require("title")
        val id = (books.keys.max() ?: 0) + 1
        books += id to Book(author, title)
        send(201, id)
    }

    get("/books/{id}") {
        val bookId = pathParameters.require("id").toInt()
        val book = books[bookId]
        if (book != null)
            // ok() is a shortcut to send(200)
