Unable to pass data (and update POST data) between chained APIEasy calls.

Unable to pass data between chained APIEasy calls. This only works for outgoing headers. However, passing state to modify post request body of subsequent calls does not work. It appears that APIEasy is caching the post data to be sent at initialization and instead of late binding

Here is a gist with my use case

Inspecting the source, it should work if you just do .post(url) instead of .post(url, data). Passing in a (currently-empty) data object will override the one set in your before:

Oh, sorry, you also need to set the body in the before. Add a line like outgoing.body = getPostData().

I really wish I understood this answer, it would help me a lot. However, the first link is now broken. And, the second response says "set the body in the before" which I don't understand... doesn't that mean the code would run before every test in the suite, when all he's trying to do is chain 2 calls?

I was hoping the fluent nature of this library would make it easy to chain calls that depend on each other, but now I'm suspecting I misunderstood the benefits of this fluency.
