const app = new Koa();

app.use( ctx => {
    ctx.body = { status : 1 };
} );

sham( app, ( err, res, body ) => {
    console.log( body ); // { status : 1 }
} );

sham( app, {
    qs : {
        x : 1
    }
}, ( err, res, body ) => {
    console.log( body ); // { status : 1 }
} );

sham( app, '/path', { https: true }, ( err, res, body ) => {
    console.log( body ); // { status : 1 }
} );

sham( app, { 
    method : 'POST',
    body : {
        x : 1
    }
}, ( err, res, body ) => {
    console.log( body ); // { status : 1 }
} );

Promise

sham( app, { promise : true } ).then( data => {
    console.log( data );
} );
