Subject: [PATCH] Attempting request.post and request.get_json

Attempting to understand what the various methods do, do to differing documentation on some parts.
To current knowledge, get_json gets a json file from the webserver, whilst post uploads one. On to how to access the uploaded json with html, I will work on.
