Subject: Add post_json as some DCC objects are created with post requests.
X-Git-Url: http://woldlab.caltech.edu/gitweb/?p=htsworkflow.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=e3d98b912474142affa7a76ca4c2d763f186b9ba

Add post_json as some DCC objects are created with post requests.

considering the code is duplicated, there's probably a way to abstract
those functions.
