19 RESTful Clients
Any HTTP client can be used as a RESTful client. Even the BUI can return RESTful API GET
results by typing in a resource URL. Mozilla Firefox has a RESTful client module that can be installed to make RESTful requests (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/restclient/
). This module allows PUT
, POST
, and DELETE
requests, as well as the normal HTTP GET
requests.
RESTful clients must use TLS protocols because the SSL v2/3 protocols are no longer supported. Curl clients must use curl
version 7.34.0 or higher.
This section contains more detailed information about various RESTful clients.
