I have a PHP web application that also exposes some REST services. I am unable to debug (set breakpoints, step over, step into code) my REST services. I've found a thread with a similar title. The solutions pointed out therein are mostly about how to test RESTful services using RESTClient or HTTP4e.
I am able to debug the web application using the built it browser in Eclipse PDT. If I set breakpoints in code and Run->Debug, I am able to hit the breakpoints etc.
For REST services, I'm unable to do this. If I hit Debug, the normal application control flow occurs starting with index.html.
For all my API's I require some authentication headers to be supplied with the request so I'm unable to simulate this using the Debug Configurations settings.
Help is appreciated.
