- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13847856, 8 years agoNice, but does not send GET request with body.
site/elements/data/scripts/request.js:
if (request.method.toLowerCase() !== 'head' && request.method.toLowerCase() !== 'get') {
init.body = requestBody;
}
Update:
I don't have much experieces with node.js, but...
Maybe it can be achieved with socket.io and emulate http protocol?
I wanted to use your extension for doing requests to elasticsearch, it uses GET and in http body is json.Developer response
posted 8 years agoHi, thanks for taking the time to dig into this issue. Unfortunately it is by design and there is no way to fix it (that I know of).
RESTer is a browser extension and the browser provides two ways of sending HTTP requests:
1. XMLHttpRequest: This ignores any specified body and sets it to null when the method is GET or HEAD.
2. fetch: This throws a TypeError when you specifiy a body and the method is GET or HEAD.
Browsers have good reason to do so. While, according to the HTTP/1.1 spec, you are allowed to send a request body with a GET or HEAD request, the server is advised to ignore the body when handling the request. See here for a good explanation:

That said, if you have ideas on how to handle this better, please let me know. I am definitely open to suggestions. Post them on GitHub or send me an email:

- Rated 5 out of 5by Alexey, 8 years agoGreat extension for backend debug. Supports JSON highlighting, which is cool.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13819094, 8 years agoThis was exactly what I was looking for, plus the fact that it has a very nice interface.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Rodrigo Flores, 8 years agoThere are some things you need to add to this addon:
1)Export/Import Request
2)Change the request title background color for the dark theme
3)Save cookies value as variablesDeveloper response
posted 8 years agoThanks for the review and the suggestions.
1) I'm already working on Export/Import functionality. It will take a bit of time to finish this, though.
2) I will think about changing the color or making it configurable but I consider this low priority. Let me know if this very important for you.
3) That's a great idea and something I have thought of as well. I definitely want to add something like this in the future.
One last note: RESTer is open source. If you like to contribute and add a certain feature, head over to https://github.com/frigus02/RESTer and open a pull request. I'm happy to help if you encounter any issues. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13643499, 8 years agoNice - just what was needed. Great color scheme too. Clean and simple to use.
Thanks! - Rated 5 out of 5by gongxw, 8 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13510260, 8 years agoNice product, with useful features! I'm giving this 5-stars even though the UI could use an improvement in the "AUTHORIZATION" section; sometimes authorization tokens can be really long, and when I saved my custom authorization, it showed up under "Use existing tokens" with no wrapping, extending the page horizontally and making it hard to use the buttons attached to the item.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13471360, 8 years agoThank you for this nice tool. It would be great to add a feature to trim the body of POST requests. So if you want to add human readable and formated JSON string sometimes you need to remove all spaces and tabs because memory restricted system do not have space to receive it with it.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Marco, 8 years agoI installed this extension because the previous one I used is not compatible with FF 57.
However, I got to say that this is really a good one, and I like it more than the other I used. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13414121, 8 years ago
