accepting "symbol" vs "stock" in incoming POSTs #9

See https://starfighter.readme.io/docs/place-new-order

Officially, the correct JSON fieldname when POSTing to the server is "stock" not "symbol". The official server accepts both though. But when I fixed this issue in my own client code, I could no longer place orders on Mockfighter: I believe it only accepts "symbol". (My ability to read LISP is non-existant.)

User cite-reader told me about this.

Good catch, I'll fix this tonight/tomorrow. On a side note, I really appreciate all the bug finding you've done!

Thanks. I don't know if you'll like this or not but you inspired me to make my own version of the server, at https://github.com/fohristiwhirl/disorderBook

Awesome! The server should accept symbol and stock now.
