Spring Security - Third Edition

Server requests

We can test the application with either a command-line tool such as cURL or HTTPie, or you could also use a REST client plugin such as Postman to send requests to the server.

HTTPie: a CLI, cURL-like tool for humans, HTTPie (pronounced aitch-tee-tee-pie) is a command-line HTTP client. Its goal is to make CLI interaction with web services as human-friendly as possible. It provides a simple HTTP command that allows for sending arbitrary HTTP requests using a simple and natural syntax, and displays colorized output. HTTPie can be used for testing, debugging, and generally interacting with HTTP servers (https://httpie.org).
