It's currently impossible to override _DEFAULT_BASE_URL because it's part of
_request
's signature.This PR adds a
base_url
keyword argument to theClient
object constructor and saves it in an instance variable._request
then uses the instance variable when making the request (unless it's been provided with its own override)Overriding the base URL is necessary when setting up a mock server for testing purposes for example.
This issue was raised before in #204 but ended up not being addressed.
