HTTP Prompt is an interactive command-line HTTP client featuring autocomplete and syntax highlighting. Download url -> https://github.com/eliangcs/http-prompt – Joe C. Hecht – Google+

To me it looks remarkably similar to https://github.com/jkbrzt/httpie [WayBack] which too is a visual cURL replacement.

I’ve been using cURL but always had a feeling not to its potential basically because the cURL man page [WayBack] is both massive and lacks concrete useful practical examples.
For instance, I knew about the --header and --verbose options (I always use verbose names even though shorter -H and -v exist) to pass a specific header and get verbose output, but the man page basic examples like this by Tader:
curl --header --verbose "X-MyHeader: 123" www.google.comsource: How to send a header using a HTTP request through a curl call? – Stack Overflow [WayBack]
There are some more examples at bropages.org/curl but they’re hardly organised or documented.
So I was really glad I found the below answer [WayBack] by Amith Koujalgi to web services – HTTP POST and GET using cURL in Linux – Stack Overflow.
But first note that recent versions (around 7.22 or higher) of cURL now need to combine the --silent and --show-error (or in short -sS) parameters to suppress progress but show errors: linux – How do I get cURL to not show the progress bar? – Stack Overflow [WayBack]

Cool: [WayBack] Postman offers free (small-project) API developer tools – Open Source Insider.
I’ve used the [Archive.is] Postman – Chrome Web Store for HTTP/HTTPS API testing using various REST services. It’s awesome even though unlike the postmanlabs/postman-chrome-extension-legacy: Postman REST Client Chrome Extension (Legacy Version) it’s not open source any more as it now can run server side and has an API of itself [WayBack].
Get it at [WayBack] Postman | Supercharge your API workflow. Available for Mac OS X, Windows, Linux and Chrome users.

I need to check these against a Chromecast v2 as the below URLs are from a v1 device:
More is possible by using cURL: Chromecast Hacking Has Begun | fiquett.com
sleep 8h; while true; do curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://192.168.71.113:8008/apps/YouTube -X POST -d 'v=somevideo'; done

In my case this is about a Philips 42PFL7676H TV, but this likely applies to many Philips TVs from the 2009-2012 era.
According to nmap, these ports are open:
PORT STATE SERVICE REASON VERSION
1925/tcp open unknown syn-ack
2323/tcp open 3d-nfsd? syn-ack
49153/tcp open upnp syn-ack Philips Intel UPnP SDK 1.4 (Philips Smart TV; UPnP 1.0; DLNADOC 1.50)
TCP port 1925 is actually implementing the jointSPACE REST API over HTTP which has some nice documentation (also locally on your TV).
PCremote implements this and is easy to install: just download (or git clone) the html locally or to a web-server and try it, or even easier: browse to the www.netdata.be/tv site. You can even use it on your Raspberry Pi. There is also support for jointSPACE it in agocontrol.
Two nice threads about it from the Philips support forum:
TCP port 2323 seems to be the voodooport which should enable you to do DirectFB Voodoo.
Jean-Marc Harvengt (software engineer at Philips) showed a nice demo (see video below) on using VooDoo. I wish he had published the source code.
TCP port 49153 also hosts an HTTP server. The base URL I could find information about is 192.168.71.115:49153/nmrDescription.xml It seems that nmrDescription.xml has to do with DLNA and upnp.
Later on I found that my brothers 32PFL7675H TV should also support JointSPACE, but that it had to be activated:
AFTER upgrading to the new firmware, jointSPACE NEEDS TO BE ACTIVATED by entering the following digits sequence while watching TV (WatchTV activity): “5646877223”
Source: jointSPACE TVs Developers
Before activation, only port was open 49153. After that, port 2323 was open as well. But the www.netdata.be/tv app doesn’t work on this TV. This does work however: Philips MyRemote – Android Apps on Google Play

Attack from the ’90s resurfaces more deadly than before
Source: Windows Flaw Reveals Microsoft Account Passwords, VPN Credentials
TL;DR: block LAN->WAN port 445
Note this won’t affect web-dav shares like \live.sysinternals.com\DavWWWRoot as that uses ports 443 and 80.

I’m using these Chrome Extensions for most of the http / https call mockups, and after that put them in SoapUI (which despite the name also does REST and has come a long way sinceSource: SoupUI – as sometimes that is the only thing that works):
You can get both Postman versions through GetPostman.com as well.

Interesting: this works through an on-line service that monitors up to 2 servers for free (including protocols like HTTP, SMTP and PING).
You can get reports at either through:
I’m using this to monitor my boxes at home.

StackOverflow user Kenneth Reitz has written a great on-line and free httpbin tool that responds to many kinds of http/https requests including the standaard http request methods (or verbs) used by REST: get, post (for http 1.0) and patch, put, delete (for http 1.1).
These verbs are not supported: head (http 1.0) and trace, options, connect (http 1.1).
The site is geared towards JSON (as most the responses are in JSON, except for one XML response and a few TEXT responses), but even if your environment does not use JSON, it is very useful as you basically get an echo of information on what you pass to it.
Except one endpoint (/encoding/utf8), none of the response encodings can be determined by the request. This is a pity as sometimes it is good to see how a specific encoding works for JSON, but it is very hard to support encodings well, so I can understand the support is not there (or not there yet).
There are many examples on the site, which I won’t list.
There are at least two sites hosting them. The original supports HTTP and HTTPS only, but the ngHttp2 people also support HTTP2 and SPDY:
What I do list are the endpoints as copied from the site on 20141228:
