RESTClient 2.3.3 Released

WizTools.org RESTClient version 2.3.3 is a bug-fix release from the 2.3 branch. This release fixes few encoding issues reported by users, Hostname verifier being ignored in few cases and made the build compatible with Maven 3. Download from: http://code.google.com/p/rest-client/downloads/list.

RESTClient 2.3.2 Released

A major issue with the previous releases of RESTClient was that it was not accepting headers and parameters with identical keys. This has been fixed in the present version. This has been made possible because of the data-structures available in the WizTools.org Commons Lib project.

Downloads can be found in the usual location.

RESTClient 2.3.1 Released

This is a minor maintenance release from the 2.3 branch. Previously RESTClient supported only UTF-8 encoding in the response body. Now the encoding is based on the HTTP header received. Download.

Thanks to the latest committer of RESTClient @pilaftank, we now have a Mac OS X edition of RESTClient (with Mac compatible UI and key binding) for download.

Kudos for RESTClient from Ian Dickinson of HP Labs

Ian Dickinson of HP Labs has commented on RESTClient in his blog. The title of the post is "RESTful service client-side testing tool", and he ends the post with: ... kudos to the developers. Thanks Ian :-)

"RESTClient is great!"

From Avi Flax of USA with the subject "RESTClient is great!":

...I just stumbled across your request for suggestions at
rest-discuss, and having never heard about RESTClient before, I was
thrilled to download it and try it out. It's excellent! I'm very
excited to use it - we build and use many different RESTful web apps
here, and we all use cURL every day. I'm going to tell the whole team
about it, and I'm sure they'll be excited as well. RESTClient is going
to be very very useful for us, thank you! I'm looking forward to
using it, and perhaps helping out with it here and there. I've
followed your suggestion and submitted some feature requests -
thirteen, actually. I'm really looking forward to seeing how the tool
evolves.
