so we don't want to make real api calls to real urls here. This is part of the mocking setup we talked about. 

See https://github.com/bookieio/Bookie/blob/develop/bookie/static/js/tests/test_view.js#L298

Notice that it creates a fake response and calls the 'error' callback. In this way then you should not make a real http request out to the service.
