+    Class that lets you create mock Request objects for use in testing.
+    
+    Usage:
+    
+    rf = RequestFactory()
+    get_request = rf.get('/hello/')
+    post_request = rf.post('/submit/', {'foo': 'bar'})
+    
+    This class re-uses the django.test.client.Client interface, docs here:
+    http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/testing/#the-test-client
+    
+    Once you have a request object you can pass it to any view function, 
+    just as if that view had been hooked up using a URLconf.

+        has created it.
