I have this desktop GUI I created that tests REST web services lying around and I touched it up to support authentication (basic for now). I'm not sure if it would be useful to anyone, but it's available for anyone who wants to quickly test the responses of REST web services.
Thanks, only a quick one hour job so that's why it's very 'lite'. The request body, I can enable it but it's only there for sending pre-serialized data. Lots of ideas I could take from the java client posted above.
