Another shameless promotion … I am the creator of HTTP4e – the Eclipse plugin for making HTTP and REST calls. Long story short: A while ago while working at EA Sport Worlds project we didn’t have a tool for testing our REST API. It was quite tedoius and error prone making all RESTful calls from Java. So spending few weekends, I built this tool on top of Eclipse rich SWT/JFace API using Apache HTTP client.
The plugin has tabs, auto-complete, syntax coloring, different views for Headers, Parameters, Body, Request and Response. Basic/Digest, SSL, Proxy support and ability to export the HTTP call to Java.
I can proudly say this is the best UI tool for making REST and HTTP calls as it has 8.6 out of 10 ranking at Eclipse market place.
