Google Chrome Extension to submit POST/GET requests?

Question

As a developer I sometimes need to be able to make GET/POST requests without having a form on the page. Are there any plug-ins that allow me to submit GET/POST requests to a specified page and then see the results?

Looks good, but how do i write a POST request? Can you link me to a tutorial or a manual or something? – qwerty Oct 10 '11 at 17:14
@qwerty It depends on the web application, doesn't it? Look for the webapp's API docs. – Jin Oct 10 '11 at 17:18
Does it really? How does the browser tell which webapp is running on the server before it submits the HTTP request? And what exactly do you mean by "webapp", i don't quite get what you're saying. – qwerty Oct 10 '11 at 17:27

@qwerty I'm not sure what you're asking either, but you can take a look at this. http://www.jmarshall.com/easy/http/#postmethod – Jin Oct 10 '11 at 17:48
Sorry for the confusion, but that link helped! Though i found a plugin for firefox that was even easier to use, it's called UrlParams. Thanks for the help! – qwerty Oct 10 '11 at 19:52
@qwerty: if you are using firefox, Live HttpHeader is a good choice. – Hoàng Long May 22 '12 at 03:23
This is great if you want to log on to the server using your regular user friendly login form then post some stuff as that user. by contrast, Postman requires you to craft an authentication, know which type of authentication is used and enter the token details and what not. – Martin Capodici Oct 18 '17 at 05:11

You can try POSTMAN.

It works good for making HTTP requests and debugging and I like its UI.

XHR Poster is great, lets you save some requests, and shows the response nicely formatted. The results panel is tabbed so you can see many results after doing new requests.
