What alternative to ‘postman’ do you like the most for simply testing a bunch of REST services?

SoapUI open source version works pretty well and does not require a logon to save your projects

And which ones handle injecting base 64 encoded file content (100MB) into the json body well? I’ve been using SoapSonar, but I’m having issues with this at the moment.

Same, although it has been getting shittier and shittier.

Until I saw the sub I thought this was going to be a question about what to call the postal officer now that we live in a modern society where women are trusted to stuff letterboxes as well as men. Postie is of course the answer to that.

I used to use Paw, but it’s only available on OS X. It’s a shame because it has the single best variable/templating system I’ve ever used. Since I prefer a cross platform and ideally open source solution though I’ve switched to Insomnia. It’s not quite as good as Paw, but I can actually use it on Windows and Linux unlike Paw.
