- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13508722, 6 years agoHi! Great add-on. Please increase the .ace_editor font-size, because 12px is toooo small in a high resolution monitor. Really hard for reading. If i change it to 1em in debugger, it's much better readable. Thank you!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Kulero, 7 years agoI used several REST clients for the last few years. Stumbled on this one, and I really, really, really like it! I love the way it supports saving requests by name and into categories, in addition to keeping history. It's so feature rich and intuitive to use. One exception is the environments feature; I DID figure it out after awhile, but it could use a little explanation on the extensions page. Thank you, Jan, for this excellent tool, and keep up the great work!
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14122667, 7 years ago- a little slows down the interface.
- there is no way to sort saved requests into the collection.Developer response
posted 7 years agoThanks for your comments.
Saved requests are currently sorted alphabetically. Would you mind creating an issue on GitHub, describing why you think manual sorting would help and how you would like the feature to work?

I'm also interested in making the whole interface more snappy. If you feel something particular is slow, feel free to create another issue on GitHub. - Rated 5 out of 5by l3dlp, 7 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13963244, 7 years agoGreat add-on, I really like it. Perfect for testing webapps. I really like the environment and the variables options. Keep up the good work! The only bug I found that the variables do not work in the Body, only in the Header.

posted 7 years agoThanks for your suggestion. That sounds like a good idea. I created an issue here, so you can keep track of the progress:

That said, it's not without fault. There seems to be some sort of memory leak related to the history function. Too many large objects in the history and you're suddenly using gigs of data for the RESTer tab.Developer response
posted 7 years agoThanks for the hint. The memory issue definitely something I'm going to look into. I created an issue here, so you can keep track of the progress:
https://github.com/frigus02/RESTer/issues/58 - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13847856, 7 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 7 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:
