HTTP application to GET, PUT, DELETE

Question

Hello there,

Do you guys know if there is an application that enables me to use GET, PUT, DELETE HTTP methods in a simple way?

I want to run it against Google's BigTable.

Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

curl? It has a command-line client as well as libraries (written in C, but with bindings for all the major languages).

You can specify custom methods with -X:

curl -X DELETE mysite.appspot.com/foo

In the library, you use the CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST option.

Answer 2

If you're using Windows, try Fiddler. It not only does logging of browser to server traffic but can also create requests in its own right.
