new Client(agent)
Constructs a new agent for making HTTP requests to the MediaWiki action API.
Constructs a new agent for making HTTP requests to the MediaWiki action API. The agent acts like a browser session and has its own cookie jar.
Pass in an optional supertest agent to use for making requests where the client wants to behave as a logged in user. If not supplied, client behaves like an "anonymous" user until account() is used to attach the client to a user account.
Note that all anonymous users share the same IP address, even though they don't share a browser session (cookie jar). This means that are treated as the same user in some respects, but not in others.
