Calling third party REST service from JAZZ ServiceRequest

Hi,
I am trying to call my own REST service running outside of JAZZ container and i tried to call it using the ServiceRequest based API. But the framework assumes the EPR that i pass in is a relative path to the REST service. So even though i give my absolute EPR it prepends the JAZZ service location and tries to find it in its service repository and fail. Following EPR that is generated by JAZZ explains the situation.

/jazz/secure/service/http://<myip>:<myport>/<myServiceRelative path>

Here is the question. Is there a way that i could use JAZZ APIs to contact a third party REST service.

Thanks.
