Request Maker

Log, edit and send HTTP requests

Download

Request Maker is a powerful Chrome extension designed for penetration testers and developers to log, edit, and send HTTP requests effortlessly. It captures requests made via HTML forms and XMLHttpRequests, avoiding clutter from images and stylesheets. Users can tamper with URLs, headers, and POST data, making it ideal for testing and debugging web applications.

The tool maintains tab-specific logs displayed conveniently in a browser popup, and requests can be bookmarked for quick reuse. Recent versions support easier UI access via browser actions. Note limitations exist regarding header modification and handling of redirects due to inherent browser restrictions. For user support, contact information is available within the extension's options page.

Does the job! For those leaving bad ratings because they need more advanced stuff, just get something else like Postam.
