How to make http/https POST requests manually?

http, linux, post, rest

Solution

You can use `wget` for this. From the `manual` it supports digest authentication and can send POST requests.

There seems to be a GUI at wget::gui, but I don't know how reliable or complete it is.

Problem

I want to test some url's on a small custom server i am working on. i have used Wfetch on windows and its awesome My requirements for these tests are: - should be able to run on linux(ubuntu) - should be able to set all params manually - should support digest aunthentication can someone suggest some gui or extension for such a work. I have already tried RESTclient and Poster but they do not support digest aunthentication. Possible duplicate of How do I manually fire HTTP POST requests with Firefox or Chrome?
