User reviews

Estaba encantado con la extensión, hasta que este mes he perdido todas mis conexiones 2 veces (varios meses de pruebas). Desinstalada, ya no es fiable, hacen una actualización y pierdes todo tu trabajo.

Bit disappointing. Was using Wizdler which is now being switched off by Chrome. Wizdler was able to take a WSDL file and not only find all available functions but also list all the parameters and their data types in a readymade SOAP envelope. With Boomerang, all I get is a completely empty SOAP envelope as a starting point for the request, so I've got to somehow work out the parameters and data types myself.

Cool extension. A few questions. Is it possible to access environment variable from pre-request and post-request script? Is it possible to assign values to environment variables in pre-request and post-request script? Is it possible to set headers, params, etc. in pre-request script? I didn't find a guide
