Representational state transfer (REST) is a style of software architecture for distributed hypermedia systems such as the World Wide Web.  This technology is being exposed in Nstein Software to facilitate the exchange of information between application components.

RESTClient is an application use to visit and test RESTful services. it is a Firefox/Flock extension which supports all HTTP methods RFC2616 (HTTP/1.1) and RFC2518 (WebDAV). Users can construct custom HTTP request (custom method with resources URI and HTTP request Body) to directly test requests against a server.

Benefit from XML User Interface Language (XUL), RESTClient extension have following features:

  1. Be able to run without web server. Because of security issues (Cross-domain Restrictions), PHP+Ajax version needs proxy server support.
  2. Twice faster than PHP+Ajax version. (without proxy server).
  3. Be able to load / save request body from/to a XML/Text file.
  4. Autocomplete for request URL input textbox (from history).
  5. Partially supports WebDAV protocol
