Hello mates!

In order to test a server, usually curl is used. My question is, do
you know similar programs but more user-friendly? Basically, the same
program but with an usable user interface, Windows and/or MAC
suggestion would be nice.

Thanks a lot for your time and suggestions.
Ricardo.

Hey Ricardo,

I don't know of one with a GUI, but I use http-console (https://
github.com/cloudhead/http-console), for simple testing on the command
line. It lets you set headers and navigate your API a bit like a file
structure. Works great for me.

You could also look at http://ditchnet.org/httpclient/ , which is a GUI app.

Best,

I also just saw this posted on another list:

http://code.google.com/p/rest-client/

It's a Java based GUI app.

Good luck
