##Summary Makes HTTP requests using the selected text as URL + headers. Usefull for testing REST APIs from Sublime Text 2 editor.
#Update (by roshow): Parameters for GET requests in dictionary I made an update to http_requester.py so you can put in the parameters for a request on a separate line from the url. So, for example, instead of:
GET http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=batman&filters=hd
You can write it like this:
GET http://www.youtube.com/results
{ 'search_query': 'batman', 'filters': 'hd' }
Note that for this to work, you have to write the dictionary in one line without breaks. The dictionary can be written in any line following the url -- I have the script looking for anything that begins with curly brackets.
##Update: Requests are threaded now, with progress report in status bar.
##Update: Added support for requests through proxy
##Usage Select the text that represents an URL. Examples of requests:
http://www.google.com/search?q=test
GET http://www.google.com/search?q=test
www.google.com/search?q=test
If you need to add extra headers just add them below the URL line, one on each line:
www.google.com/search?q=test
Accept: text/plain
Cookie : SOME_COOKIE
Use the right-click context menu command Http Requester or the keyboard shortcut CTRL + ALT + R ( COMMAND + ALT + R on Mac OS X ). Update: F5 refreshes last request.
###POST/PUT usage Just add POST_BODY: after any extra headers and the body on the following lines:
POST http://posttestserver.com/post.php
POST_BODY:
this is the body that will be sent via HTTP POST
a second line for body message
If you want to POST form variables:
POST http://posttestserver.com/post.php
Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
POST_BODY:
variable1=avalue&variable2=1234&variable3=anothervalue
For PUT:
PUT http://yoururl.com/puthere
POST_BODY:
this body will be sent via HTTP PUT
###DELETE usage Same as HTTP GET:
DELETE http://yoururl.com/deletethis
###Requesting through a proxy If you need to send the request through a proxy server you can use:
GET www.yourtest.com
USE_PROXY: 127.0.0.1:1234
Where 127.0.0.1 is the proxy server address (IP or URL) followed by the port number. Warning : allways append a port number, even if it's 80
