Simple, but limited and buggy.

I am an API developer building RESTful services that mobile devices must consume. With that being said, I hoped that I could use HTTP Client and forget my cURL-fu. I was correct, but only if you dont need to do anything at all complicated. The functionality that allows you to add Headers basically doesnt work. You have to double click fields to edit them even though they are text boxes. The list of HTTP methods(PUT/POST/GET/PATCH/DELETE/etc) you can use doesnt actually have anything in it so you have to auto-complete the value. It could render the response much prettier for JSON/XML/etc. When you save a version to distrubute to other people for debugging, you cant edit the content of that file so it is useless if you have anything at all related to authentication in your request. While it has a nice interface, and it gives you 60% of the things you need, Id skip it for the other missing 40% and just deal with cURL. Dont be scared of man(1). Todd should just open source the application and let people who use it work on it to extend it and make it better. The last release was 8 months ago for a tool that could be extremely powerful.
