Rest Client For Safari Mac
I need to call a webservice with Safari on Mac. Since the methods are in POST I can't paste the url in the address bar of Safari (like with GET methods).
Some Safari extensions that block ads or other website content can prevent some page elements from displaying. You can temporarily turn off extensions, then re-load the page to see if this is the issue. What is a rest client? Update Cancel. Vaibhav Khulbe, Windows Insider, Firefox Test Pilot. How do I write a REST client in Java without having any idea about how REST service is implemented? What is the best way to mock a REST web service to test a rest client? Apple may provide or recommend responses as a possible solution based on the information provided; every potential issue may involve several factors not detailed in the conversations captured in an electronic forum and Apple can therefore provide no guarantee as to the efficacy of any proposed solutions on the community forums.
So, I'm looking for a plug-in or similar that allows me to send the request and then receive the response inside the browser. The response is JSON so with the JSON plug in I can see all the response with his formatting.
Solutions ? Thanks !

Safari is my browser of choice, so I can empathize with you for wanting a native plugin. Fortunately, while there aren't any extensions available, there are quite a few native OSX clients for HTTP/REST end-point testing. I have been using CocoaRestClient, which includes auto-formatting and syntax highlighting for JSON, as you requested. It's open source, lightweight, and is at least actively supported by its developers:
Another great tool is Postman, an application inside Google Chrome.

I don't know why you care whether the client is in Safari or not. A restful POST should be able to be executed from any sort of client. You might want to look at RESTClient extension for Firefox http://restclient.net/
Also just Google 'REST client' you should see plenty of other tools available to generate POST's against your service. If you are really would about Safari-specific responses, most good REST tools, should allow you to set the User-Agent header so as to make the request look like it is coming from Safari.
