Save your time with the easiest API testing tool out there. No complicated forms and scripts. Easy to use yet very powerful.

The only REST client that makes connection directly on socket giving you full control over the connection and request/response headers.

Alternatively check "use XHR" to disable socket and use Chrome's regular connection. You can set up proxy in Chrome settings if you having trouble connection to the remote machine.
