I want to test some URLs in a web application I'm working on. For that I would like to manually create HTTP POST requests (meaning I can add whatever parameters I like).
Is there any functionality in Chrome and/or Firefox that I'm missing?

Type the url in the main input field and choose the method to use: GET/POST/PUT/DELETE/PATCH. Click on the arrow "Send" or press Ctrl+Enter. You'll see info about the response (time, size, type) and you'll be able to see the content response in the response section.
Press Ctrl+Shift+Y to show the sidebar and make your own HTTP request. You can choose the method GET, HEAD, POST, OPTIONS, PUT DELETE and the body data to send. Response in the main window.
The most common HTTP request methods have a call shortcut (such as http. get and http. post), but you can make any type of HTTP request by setting the call field to http. request and specifying the type of request using the method field.
I have been making a Chrome app called Postman for this type of stuff. All the other extensions seemed a bit dated so made my own. It also has a bunch of other features which have been helpful for documenting our own API here.
Postman now also has native apps (i.e. standalone) for Windows, Mac and Linux! It is more preferable now to use native apps, read more here.
