Question

I use:

wget –no-check-certificate –http-user=user –http-password=secret –header=”Content-Type:text/xml” –post-file=request.xml https://mydominain.com/xml

to send an xml request.

The xml file (request.xml) is something like that:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<request method="switchvox.call">
<parameters>
<dial_first>1111</dial_first>
<dial_second>2222</dial_second>
<dial_as_account_id>1127</dial_as_account_id>
<caller_id_name>John Doe</caller_id_name>
</parameters>
</request>

I need to test some xml requests before write a program.

It is posible to send the same request using a browser?
Is it posible use copy-paste in a browser to test the request?
Is it possible to send a xml file in a browser request?

Answer 1

It is posible to send the same request using a browser?

Since you are using a non-standard (for browser forms) content-type in your request: Only by using JavaScript with XMLHttpRequest.

Is it posible use copy-paste in a browser to test the request?

No … well you could write the script and then copy and paste it into the JS console.

Is it possible to send a xml file in a browser request?

Given the provisos above, yes, but it seems to be rather more trouble then your existing solution.
