Lately, a post at WRD had introduced Hack St. which was a handy web app for debugging HTTP requests. Postman is a similar tool with more features and comes as a free Chrome extension . It allows sending any type of HTTP requests (GET, HEAD, POST, PUT..) with any number of parameters + headers. There is support for different authentication mechanisms (basic, digest, OAuth) and the response received is syntax highlighted (HTML, JSON or XML). Postman keeps a history of requests so that we can easily re-send them later and has a “collections” feature for storing all requests to the same API/domain.
