Generic Open Source REST Client? [closed]

Question

I want a simple client that takes a few parameters (Method, URL, Parameters), makes an HTTP request, and shows me the results that were returned.

A browser obviously can easily send GET and POST requests, but I have no good ideas on DELETE and UPDATE.

Did I miss something in browser 101, or is there a common freeware tool to do this? I've seen other threads that give me Java APIs for a simple client, but that's not what I'm looking for.

Answer 1

The Java application rest-client http://code.google.com/p/rest-client/ sounds like a good option.
