Its more streamlined that hurl.it (which is a great product), but also less powerful. The use case I'm going for is very basic: quick and dirty POST endpoint testing. URL, query params, then go.
Good nit-picky catch on the capitalization. I agree, the font is unconventional. I might switch it to something more conventional, but it definitely does fit the theme.
I'm looking for the opposite -- something that will accept HTTP requests, record them and let me view the log on a page. My use case is debugging callbacks (notification pushes) from APIs.
I don't see how you can interpret my comment as being bitter (there's a smileyface there, for God's sake). I merely point out that httpbin is useless for my stated use case -- there is nothing there implying that it's useless for all use cases.
Sure, I could patch httpbin. But I was explicitly asking whether the tool I described exists so I don't need to write the code myself.
Neat service. Anyone know of a browser plugin/extension though that will let me do this from the context of an existing loaded page? I've wanted that for a while for testing local web dev stuff.
Not exactly a plugin but Fiddler ( http://www.fiddler2.com/fiddler2/ )'s request builder can do this and you can drag & drop existing requests to request builder and modify as you like.
This is nice, though - surprised it fills a gap in functionality with how simple it is, but it does. http://hurl.it/ currently doesn't have a way of entering individual params. Apigee console doesn't either. It also takes a click or two to get to a generic API console. https://apigee.com/console/
BTW I like how if you remove the middle two letters and each letter at the end of httpposttool you get groups of two of the same letter: ttppttoo.

Also, I've made a service that does the opposite: http://httpbin.org
Nit-picky thing: consistent capitalization (2lazy2curl or 2Lazy2Curl) in the title bar and on the page.
I could write a service like that in 5 minutes, just wondering it one exists, so I don't have to. :-)
Also httpbin is open source. You can clone it and add your own features. https://github.com/kennethreitz/httpbin
