HTTP Werkzeug 1.2.3 open source |
|
HTTP Werkzeug is an HTTP send/receive tool, which lets make requests to Web servers and view the HTTP headers and data sent and received, and lets you capture the HTTP headers sent by a browser. It takes care of some of the technicalities for you: Host, Referer and User-Agent request header lines can all be generated for you, POST arguments can be entered into a dialog box, and it is supplied with a customisable selection of User-Agent lines to choose from. HTTP Werkzeug can be considered a very limited graphical cURL.
The development versions are substantially better than the most recent stable build, so much so that it is not worth considering using 1.2 stable. (The whole program is still riddled with problems; it’s just that 1.2 was even worse.)
Discontinued:
HTTP Werkzeug is discontinued. No further builds are expected. I am not against rewriting HTTP Werkzeug in wxWidgets but this is extremely unlikely. The 1.3 walkthrough shows what’s changed so far in the alpha builds. Some further notes on development plans
