Testing

Set the config TEST: true for use in testing environments. This will use the Australia Post testing endpoint, and ignore any api keys provided.

note: at the time of writing this the testing endpoint is unreliable. Consider getting additional api keys for testing purposes and not setting the TEST parameter in your tests
