How to call a webservice method for testing, e.g. from a browser

Question

There is a dll webservice (made with Delphi) that has a method called List which returns a list of strings (widestring).

Is there any method for calling that service without having to write a client application for consuming it?.

Ex.: http://misitio.com:8080/miwebservice.dll?methodname=list

Answer 1

The Chrome App Postman can send SOAP requests. You just need to provide the Web Service URL, select POST, set the proper content-type header (text/xml, application/soap+xml, etc.), and provide the proper xml soap body in the request. Click Send.

Below is an example request which posts to a free weather web service.
