I need to call a webservice with Safari on Mac. Since the methods are in POST I can't paste the url in the address bar of Safari (like with GET methods).
So, I'm looking for a plug-in or similar that allows me to send the request and then receive the response inside the browser. The response is JSON so with the JSON plug in I can see all the response with his formatting.
Solutions ? Thanks !

You cannot make a POST request by using a web browser, as web browsers only directly support GET requests.
In the Safari app on your Mac, click the Share button in the toolbar or choose File > Share. Choose how to share the webpage. When you email a page, Mail lets you choose whether to send it as a webpage, PDF, link, or Reader article (if the page is an article).
Safari is my browser of choice, so I can empathize with you for wanting a native plugin. Fortunately, while there aren't any extensions available, there are quite a few native OSX clients for HTTP/REST end-point testing. I have been using CocoaRestClient, which includes auto-formatting and syntax highlighting for JSON, as you requested. It's open source, lightweight, and is at least actively supported by its developers:
