Are there Firefox extension (or any other browser) that allow to send arbitrary POST data to a webpage?

Question

I want to test the security of a website of mine and I would love to have an application that is able to send POST data, if it's even possible..

Thanks

@STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED, Should all testing questions be asked on superuser? Testing is akin to programming - IMHO. — d-_-b, Apr 10 '12 at 06:14
@doobie: *penetration testing* questions? Ehrm, yes ... likely even on one of the more tailored SE sites, rather than SuperUser or ServerFault. Perhaps Webmasters or IT Security ... but not here. I'm afraid I still disagree with leaving this on SO, even if no one did agree back then and moved the question. — 0xC0000022L, Apr 10 '12 at 11:15

Try Fiddler. From their own documentation:

"The Request Builder allows you to craft custom requests to send to the server. You can either create a new request manually, or you can drag and drop a session from the Web Sessions list to create a new request based on the existing request."

This is not a firefox plugin – Cristian Feb 14 '11 at 19:11

It is not a plugin indeed, it's a standalone app. But it provides much reacher functionality and works really well. – Puterdo Borato Jul 19 '13 at 14:27

RESTClient : request oriented and user-firendly (runs in a tab, XML answer coloration)

Development version (works with Firefox 4.b9) here :

https: //github.com/chao/RESTClient
Poster : handling binary data POST (with file loading)

I think Fiddler will allow this.

I believe LiveHTTPHeaders can do this (http://livehttpheaders.mozdev.org/).

But you need to first capture an actual GET/POST request, then click "Replay...". There, you can edit your request (including the headers) as you wish.
