REST Console for Chrome does GET/POST/PUT params. https://github.com/codeinchaos/rest-console

This is nice, though - surprised it fills a gap in functionality with how simple it is, but it does. http://hurl.it/ currently doesn't have a way of entering individual params. Apigee console doesn't either. It also takes a click or two to get to a generic API console. https://apigee.com/console/

BTW I like how if you remove the middle two letters and each letter at the end of httpposttool you get groups of two of the same letter: ttppttoo.

Neat service. Anyone know of a browser plugin/extension though that will let me do this from the context of an existing loaded page? I've wanted that for a while for testing local web dev stuff.

Not exactly a plugin but Fiddler ( http://www.fiddler2.com/fiddler2/ )'s request builder can do this and you can drag & drop existing requests to request builder and modify as you like.

Request maker works well on chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/kajfghlhfkcocafkcj...

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Indeed, that makes it useless when the service I want to debug is not one written by me; let's say Github or Notifio. I could write a service like that in 5 minutes, just wondering it one exists, so I don't have to. :-)

Why so bitter? Also httpbin is open source. You can clone it and add your own features. https://github.com/kennethreitz/httpbin

I don't see how you can interpret my comment as being bitter (there's a smileyface there, for God's sake). I merely point out that httpbin is useless for my stated use case -- there is nothing there implying that it's useless for all use cases.

Sure, I could patch httpbin. But I was explicitly asking whether the tool I described exists so I don't need to write the code myself.

If the requests is a POST, http://postbin.org will suit you perfectly :)

Thanks, that looks useful.
