Nice! Some services don't allow non-https URLs for the webhook even for development (slack...), so might be nice to support that. Let's Encrypt provides free SSL certs if you wanted to go that route.

One thing I've wanted on tools like this is an API to query what requests have hit your particular endpoint which would be useful for unit testing applications which use webhooks.

Shameless plug: https://requesthub.xyz/ Let's you transform input data with jq and redirect the webhook to another endpoint. Kind of make-your-own Zapier. Also featuring replays.

Nice! I've used hook.io for this in the past but yours looks much simpler.

Thank you.

The problem is that it is only good if you happen to know jq[1]. If you know a lot of jq you can do a lot of interesting things.

Great work fredsted. I especially like how you can have multiple people use the same endpoint.

https://tailtub.com/ is a similar project I've been moonlighting on. It's a go binary and it's like Requestb.in but for stdin.

I wanted something where I didn't have to use a UI to start a stream. Your project and others like this I think are especially useful for giving API consumers more insight on what's happening to a resource after a record is queued (say after a HTTP 201).

GET requests are coming through with 'content-length: 0' when that header was not sent.

Some other headers are not coming through, e.g. `te: gzip, deflate`

Otherwise, trying to use HTTPS instead of HTTP takes me to "Simon’s Filedump"
