What is the simplest way of sending an HTTP POST to a localhost address/port under Windows?
E.g. do any browser plugins exist to do this or could a command be sent in the Chrome Developer Tools / Firebug console?
[Have seen similar q's asked before but the answers mostly seem to recommend the use of Unix tools such as CURL or Websites such as http://www.hurl.it, which preclude sending the request to localhost.]

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.
The HTTP POST request method is used to send data to the server or create or update a resource. The POST request is usually used when submitting an HTML form or when uploading data to a server. The HTTP POST request may or may not contain data. The data is sent to the server in the body of the POST request message.
I use Advanced REST Client usually. I assume it works offline too(never tried it though as my Internet is always on).
Advanced REST Client for Chrome
I think the plugin is available for firefox too. Just google Advanced REST Client
EDIT:
Some other cool alternatives:
Paw (My current favourite)
Postman

if you use Chrome you can go with the DHC by Restlet or with Rest Console.
I think you can find extension like those for firefox too.
