Ever wondered how to simulate or create an HTTP GET/POST request without even writing a piece of HTML code yourself......
Now you can do so within your Chrome browser just by using an app called Postman REST client.
It is very user friendly and immensely powerful.
It has a lot of customization which is entirely GUI based and you can even view the reply from the server in various formats.
You can also save lengthy requests along with their cookie values for future use so that the next time you just have to send it and view the reply directly.
I used it to simulate the HTTP POST transactions to Groove shark server and for viewing the JSON reply that it gave for my manually created search queries.
I was finally able to even download an mp3 without using their flash client but was not able to save it properly or even run it as it was displaying the mp3 file as text.
