I just noticed that brackets that are inside a data string get picked up by the json formatter and are pretty printed as if they are part of the json structure.

Please add a setting to allow a user to see the raw response by default instead of the pretty response.

Allow global variables to be stored in localStorage which can be used in request parameters.

When you click the settings icon the screen is shaded out but nothing else is shown

I create a post request with some value formated like [{"DevDays":"","TestDays":""}],
click the "update saved request" button and reopen the saved request, the value only presents [{

requester.js: load function assumes a Content-Type header exists...

I'd love to have the ability to edit the title and contents of each call and reorder them manually or by name if need be. I've made a few mistakes in which I had to select the original call, update it, add it to the collection again then delete the original. Then my calls were out of logical order. I'm kinda anal about that. Would be great if it just had some editing functionality. Its an EXCELLENT app otherwise.

Check if there is some issue with CodeMirror.

Pressing the parsed button on the response section when the parsed content is already showing causes it to load a second code section below the current one with the same contents

A header value containing ':' gets truncated. Only the string preceding the character ':' gets saved in the collection

ex:.
a-bcd:xyz

only
a-bcd
gets saved in the collection.

The same call works from curl -X PATCH some_url

Here is an example of some pretty printed output:

{
"status":"OK",
"id":"rpl-bcebe522-4e7e-4c0e-b365-d9d6f2b44d59",
"warnings":[
{
"code":"SUBFLEET_NOT_FOUND",
"message":"Subfleet [
flt-78c43be9-a522-4e3e-af7d-eb8ebbdca199
]not found. Skipping subfleet, Routeplan will only include Orders.",
"severity":"high"
}
]
}

the "message" field contains text that contains "[" and "]" characters. The "message" string value is pretty printed as if it was an array.

When a response contains headers with urls, as it is common when using hypermedia actions, postman does not correctly display those headers.

for instance, I do have a request that contains a "Links" header, those value is :
http://foo/bar; rel=foo;op="POST", http://bar/baz;rel=baz;op="POST"

When using postman, it gets displayed as:
Link →<http

Unwanted "webkitformboundary" param appeares while processing PUT requests.

When I query an xml source that does not get parsed correctly the box on the pretty print window thinks it has to make the text area only as high as the number of lines there are. If there are 3 lines in the pretty print windows the text area is only 3 lines tall. Sometimes it is worse with no height at all and then I cant even see the text. I can provide sample xml but I dont know how to attach a file here.

Group multiple requests together and execute them in sequence.
This would come in handy for testing purposes, like, for example:

1. invoke API to create an user
2. invoke API to update user
3. invoke API to send a message to that user

Current text:
"Environments help you customize requests according to variables. Variables can be used in the following form - {{variable}}. The string {{variable}} will be replaced with it's corresponding value. For example, for an environment variable 'url' with the value 'http://localhost' , you will have to use {{url}} in the request URL field. {{url}] will be replaced by http://localhost when the request is sent."

1. Should use "its" instead of "it's"
2. The final url placeholder has a typo - it should close with two curly braces.

It's a bit of a scroll to reach the response especially on a smaller screen. So the focus should shift directly to response. Also a button to view response full-screen.

The response window needs support for code wrap. As mentioned by @a85 horizontal scrolling is the worst possible thing.

Would love to see OAuth 2.0 support on here. For a good example, see Google's OAuth 2.0 playground. It could be as robust as that, or plain and simple.

There's already good sample code on how to add OAuth 2.0 to a Chrome extension.

Either way, that would finish this off as the best REST client extension out there.

If the xmlhttprequest fails (e.g.: the ssl certificate for the site you are connecting to is wrong/expired/etc) you get an error like:

Could not get any response
This seems to be like an error connecting to {{baseurl}}/routeplans?key={{key}}&pretty=true. The response status was 0.
Check out the W3C XMLHttpRequest Level 2 spec for more details.

In the example above
{baseurl} and {key} should probably have been expanded to match the currently selected environment.

When you define a REST call, it would be nice to also optionally define the expected result (in terms of HTTP code, response body, response headers).
If expected results fields are defined, POSTMan could check and report a "PASSED / FAILED" result.

This way you could use POSTMan to build unit/regression tests suites for your APIs.

If my request fails and HTML is returned allow an option to view the source in "Live" mode. Not the source code but rather what I would see in my web browser.

Sometime, particularly when I suspect an error has happened the screen is shaded out but nothing is shown. Need to press esc to continue working

In our organization, we have a custom header whose value is JSON. When I save a request with this header to a collection and then re-open the request later, the value of the header has been changed to just an opening curly brace ({) rather than the full JSON object. It seems like the header values aren't being escaped properly before being saved.

I add a variable in env with named "today". And set the value is current date, as "2012-06-06".

Now, I should update the variable value everyday.

Is it possible that the value of the variable in env evaluates from system variable?

Unable to copy response.

It would be nice if we can import/export environments along with collections.

And also I think global variables that can be used across environments will be very useful.

BTW.. Awesome work, good job!!

I have different usernames and passwords in different environments. It would be nice to be able to use {{username}} and {{password}} for basic auth.

• make a new request. Change the type to POST. Click "Raw Body" and enter something.
• Now, press alt+n to create a new request. The request type is still POST, but the fields for parameters and body is not showing up. Change the request type to Get and then back to POST, and the fields will show up again.
• Also, the button "Raw body" looks selected, but the parameters field are shown. Press "Raw body" again, and now the field for entering a raw body shows up.

Just add a button "Ajax Request" which add the header X-Requested-With with the value XMLHttpRequest to simplify sending ajax request

A nice feature would be to color history HTTP methods. It would help when we have many results in the history.
A JSON viewer would also be cool because raw JSON results are hard to read.

I can't seem to figure out how to add content to DELETE requests. Right now, if I choose DELETE, the content section disappears (AKA the form-data, x-www-form-urlencoded, and raw tabs and the keys/values under it)

Also, is there a chance to add custom methods? Right now I don't need it, but it would be handy.

If I submit a query like
http://localhost:8080/[email protected]
which returns the response
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <users> <userUri>/users/1/</userUri> </users>
then make the text /users/1 a hyperlink of the form http://localhost:8080/1/users/1 so I can just tab to it and hit enter or click on it in order to issue the request http://localhost:8080/1/users/1.

When sending a POST request with parameters, they don't get attached to the body in the correct way.

With one parameter is it should be: name=value but we get this body:

------WebKitFormBoundarypf52wbqzVZKic2mr
Content-Disposition: form-data; name:"name"

value
------WebKitFormBoundarypf52wbqzVZKic2mr--

if we send it as a raw body then it works as expected.

Thank you for this awesome tool otherwise ;)

Make the left sidebar hide able so we can have more space to work with.

It would be great if Postman would send the request if I hit enter when the caret is in the URL field.

One can easily live without that, but it would be nice :)
If you deem this interesting, consider using something like prettify.js (http://code.google.com/p/google-code-prettify/).

• Send request
• New request
• Clear history
• Show history tab
• Show collection tab
• Maximize/minimize response
• Edit request URL params

Before v0.6.2 we can reference variables inside environments but not anymore. Not sure if this is a bug or removed intentionally but it is very useful to have nested variables.

Thanks!

Right now, just get a "something went wrong" error message. Want to see the error message, example:

Connection to http://someurl.duh.com:8983 refused

or perhaps stack trace?

Environment variables are fine but some values are common across environments.

Nice to have as an added feature while editing the raw request body.
A way to implement could be to add a "raw-json" and "raw-xml" buttons to the current list.
To avoid cluttering that line too much, a different approach would be to make the "raw" button a "menu button".
Setting "raw-json" could also automatically add the "Content-Type: application/json" header (likewise for raw-xml).

Something like that :)

I've noticed that when I select a request from one of my collections that it has the "Add to Collection" button at the bottom. Since it is already in a collection and exists, the "Add to Collection" button should be replaced with a "Save" button. When clicked it should update the existing request.

There are too many newlines when viewing a pretty XML response, causing unnecessary scrolling to see the whole response. Please reduce the number of newlines, or, better, add more control to just how "pretty" prettified XML responses are rendered.

Setting up the user-agent in the request headers doesn't affect anything

For basic auth, I typically have to use my corporate domain account. This means putting my network password into the password field.

It appears in plain text.. so if I'm pairing up with another developer.. I need to put a blindfold on him while I type in my password.

This should be changed to be masked and show bullets instead.
