#REST CLIENT FOR CHROME BROWSER WINDOWS#

Created by Abhinav Asthana, a programmer and designer based in Bangalore, India, Postman makes it easy to test, develop and document APIs by allowing users to quickly put together both simple and complex HTTP requests. HTTP/1.1 200 200 OK Connection: close Content-Type: TEXT/HTML Content-Length: 44ДЄs I mentioned earlier, the easy access to this low-level information can be a big bonus when debugging HTTP applications.Postman is a powerful HTTP client for testing web services. This request produces the following complete HTTP response: Q=0.9,text/p1ain q=0.8,image/png,*/* q=0.5 Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate,sdch Cookie: LastProgID=ДЇirstSimpleRestServer.FirstSimpleRestServer Accept-Language: en-US,en q=0.8 Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8 q=0.7,* q=0.3

The value of this pair is always an array115, with the actual value returned by the method (a simple data type, an object, an actual array). The response you get when calling a server method is invariably a JSON object with a single pair called 'result'. O 'fa rstSimpleRestServer/datasriap/rest/T5erverMethodsl/EchoString/hello%2C}world| в–є If you type it in a browser, you'll see the following JSON response: datasnap/rest/TServerMethods1/EchoString/hello%20world In the URL the %20 is just a replacement for a space, but you can actually type a space in your browser.

The URL is automatically combined by adding the REST server prefix (/datasnap/rest, by default), the class name, the method name, and the method parameters: | /datasnap/rest/TServerMethods1/EchoString/hello%20world The next step is to use the specific URL for the only request our REST server can perform, calling the EchoStri ng method of the TServerMethods1 class using the 'rest' support of our 'datasnap' server. This is the useless HTML returned by the program for the standard action. в– chtml xhe a ding/ xb o dy>Dat aSnap Serverc/fcodyx/htrd> You should see something like:Д ГЋT view-source:httpy/localhost8081/FirstSimpleRestServer,FirstSimpleRestServer в–є If you open the combined URL in a Web browser you can check if the Web App Debugger and the specific server are running. The Web App Debugger runs on a specific port, by default 8081, so the URL will start with: | Next in the URL comes the application name and the Web App Debugger class name (which in this case are identical), separated by a period: | FirstSimpleRestServer.FirstSimpleRestServer After compiling and running the program, remember to run the Web App Debugger (available in Delphi's Tools menu), and start it using the corresponding button. We can test this server to see if it works.
