RESTful client Events

• beforeSend(requestConf[,dispatch]) - invoke before request , you can override the request options in this time.
• sending(requestConf,xhr[,dispatch]) - immediately invoke when the request is sent.
• received(requestConf,response,xhr[,dispatch]) - immediately invoke when the response is return.
• success(response[,dispatch]) - invoke when request is successful.
• error(err[,dispatch]) - invoke when request error is occurred.
• complete(requestConf[,dispatch]) - invoke when all of them is done.
• normalizeResponse(response) - normalize response

let rest =new RESTfulClient({
	normalizeResponse(response){
		//you can override response 
		
		//example
		//return response.json().then(json=>{
		//	response.body=json;
		//	return response;
		//});
		//or
		//response.data=response.body.Data;
		//return response;
	},
    beforeSend(options, dispatch){
    	//you could override the opstions
    	//such as combine url
    	//options.url=host+options.url;
    	//do somethings
    },
    sending(options, xhr, dispatch){
    	//you could show a loading or store xhr and so on
    	//do somethings
    },
    received(options, response, xhr, dispatch){
    	//if show a loading at sending , you must remove that in here.
    	//do somethings
    },
    success(response, dispatch){
    	//how to read response header's values?
    	//example:
    	//response.header["HEADER_NAME"]
    	//in addtion you can read response.text , response.body and so on.
    	//you can inspect these property through console.
    	
    	//do somethings
