Question

I need a live test server that accepts my requests for basic information via HTTP GET and also allows me to POST (even if it’s really not doing anything). This is entirely for test purposes.

A good example is here. It easily accepts GET requests, but I need one that accepts POST requests as well.

Does anyone know of a server that I can send dummy test messages too?
