Graphical HTTP client for windows [closed]

I am looking for a Windows graphical utility for performing HTTP operations.

For example, I want to be able to say things like:

POST to http://example.org/test/service With a POST body: "Data goes here"

Does anyone know a good piece of software for doing this?

Solution 1:

I too have been frustrated by the lack of good graphical http clients available for Windows. So over the past couple years I've been developing one myself: I'm Only Resting, "a feature-rich WinForms-based HTTP client." It's open source (Apache License, Version 2.0) with freely available downloads.

It currently has fairly complete coverage of HTTP features except for file uploads, and it provides a very good user interface with great request and response management.

Here's a screenshot:

Update: For people that still come across this, Postman is your best bet now: https://www.getpostman.com/apps

RestClient is my favorite. It's Java based. I think it should meet your needs quite nicely. I particularly like the Auth suppport.

Solution 3:

Have you looked at Fiddler 2 from Microsoft?

http://www.fiddler2.com/fiddler2/

Allows you to generate most types of request for testing, including POST. It also supports capturing HTTP requests made by other applications and reusing those for testing.

Solution 4:

You can use Microsoft's WFetch tool also. This is a good tool for all HTTP operations.

Solution 5:

You could try Jsonium tool http://jsonium.org- nice free tool specialized on requests with JSON in bodies and responses
