GraphicalHttpClient App Reviews

I got tired of using curl it was starting to be a pain. This program solved all my debugging of webservice urls! Great work!

This application is great. I love to be able to use it to test websites. It is very easy to use. I love having the ability to see JSON results in a clear readable format. I would highly recommend giving this application a try, you wont be disappointed!!

This is the best HTTP debugging/testing tool that wont set you back an arm and a leg. The JSON and Base64 support is an added nicety. There are a few refreshing issues that I noticed when adding/removing http headers, but all in all its a great little app.

Shows response body size, formatted JSON. Better than the others.

Great App! Any chance we could make it resizable though? Right now on 1440 x 900 it stretches off the bottom of my screen and if I maximize it gives me the resize handle in the bottom right, when I click to make it smaller it stretches off the bottom of my screen again. I actually want it down to like 1280 x 720 size if possible.

Handles basic auth and SSL without breaking a sweat.

Every other program sends POST body correctly, but this one cant handle simple key=value. Hope it will be fixed soon, otherwise, try RESTed or HTTPClient, both of which have their issues as well...

The description is a little misleading. This is not just for REST. Ive been looking for a replacment for Fiddler (its only for Windows) and this app is perfect. In many ways its better than fiddler. Im using this to send test SOAP messages to a web service. Works great and being able to save various configurations is awesome. Thanks for making this app.

Great, simple tool for testing RESTful services. Does all that I need in an easy to use interface for developing a Java Jersey web service. You cant beat the price either!

Works like youd expect it to and its a fair value. Ive used it for testing REST & SOAP services at my company. My biggest wish is for the request body field to be sizable. Some of my SOAP request messages are pretty massive, and being able to resize between top/bottom areas would be helpful since I can only see 10 lines of the request at a time. Sure, I do the heavy lifting in a text editor, but sometimes I want to just quickly twiddle a field and its almost impossible as-is.

Unable to copy individual headers from the response. No ability to enable or disable individual headers in the request.

Thank you for writing this application! It works great! I have a few suggestions that may make this application even better. Currently you have a bar just for the full url. As others have stated, this is a problem because some urls are very long when we are using certain types of APIs. A great solution would be a url-builder UI, which allows the user to construct the URI easily. Secondly, the user interface can definitely be improved. Although the user interface gives freedom for the components sizes, the lack of organization makes it less aestheticly pleasing, and less easy to use. For example, the header data table is great, one thing you could do is make it editable in the table itself. Using some of Lions built-in views may make this app a complete, 5-star application. Thank you for your great work! I look forward to seeing updates soon!

When testing Web APIs, some times unit tests just dont iterate quickly enough to be able to troubleshoot. I create web calls to validate our endpoints are working and my coworkers and use this to save Requests they made that got back erroneous or unexpected results. I can save these request files for other people to use as quickly extremely visible, tests they can run. For such a simple tool it has a lot of great uses. It has a few bugs, and its feature set is pretty limited, for $2.00 its really hard to beat. I hope the developer continue to make this a more comprehensive tool as I would gladly pay for more features such as running a series of calls in succession, or using a value from a first call in a second call (for exampe when one get an authorization token). Thanks for the great app, and please keep on building, I look forward to great new things.

This application is a good app. It is helpful for testing my api. A nice feature that could be added is seeing the request as well as the response. Maybe it is in here but I can not find it anywhere. It does exactly what it is supposed to do.

This app is good, but its frustrating that it could be so much better so easily. For example, it lets you save your configuration (headers, url, request body, etc) but when it does so, it removes any authentication headers youve typed in. I realize there may be sensitive information there, but its pointless to remove it, without throwing up an alert telling the user youre going to do that. Really it should be an option you can set - let me decide if Im ok saving that. Another example, theres no help - you have to figure it out on your own - a good example is the request body section - you enter form variables like a query string setting?value&setting2?value2 - but it doesnt say that and there are no examples - so how would you know to do that vs putting one setting per line? Lastly when youre entering headers, you can chose from a nice list of default header NAMES, but there are no default VALUES, and no storage of values youve entered in the past. If it seems like Im down on this program, Im not - its the best Ive tried on OSX, its just missing some features of some of its inferior competitors

This was exactly what I needed. Finally an HTTP client with undo functionality in the request body and the JSON responses are indented. Nice work!

This is a very useful app and has served my needs as an indie iOS developer. Thanks for responding to my request to fix the issue where PATCH was selected as the default instead of GET for new requests!

Id been using a free HTTP "debugging" client and came across the need for more advanced options the other. Ive been using this all night and I reall like it. Does everytihng needed and works a lot better than the free apps.

I have been developing HTTP-based APIs for a many years now and I was used to testing these APIs by usign a combination of curl and various web browsers. The Graphical HTTP Client fits very nicely as a replacement for these. Graphical HTTP Client makes it very easy to create all manner of requests, modify headers and inspect the responses in nicely formatted text. I would love to see an expanded history feature where all of the request (and last response data) are stored so that with a double-click, a previous request can be re-made quickly. This tool saves me a lot of time and is well worth the money. Great job. Thanks.

The most important feature about this application is NOT that its got shiny eye candy or fancy text highlighting - its because IT JUST WORKS. Other tools claim to have all the same features, but they periodically fail when you use gzip or some sort of trick character encoding. Ive never had to worry about those things with this application. Used it for over a year now with great success. The developer is excellent at keeping it up to date and adding new features. Where other applications fail, this one doesnt.
