FoxMan

======

The addon aims to provide a POSTMan like

REST client for FireFox. 

I've seen REST easy, but the codebase was too

complicated for my limited knowledege of 

Firefox Addon Development.

How ?

====

The addon is very basic, it uses sidebar for its UI 

I haven't explored the API much, and it seems to be 

the easiest way to have an HTML based UI 

The added html would use jquery and bootstrap

to handle all AJAX calls, we need to take 

care of localization, but that would be again 

left to the html independently, keeping things 

tidy and easy to maintain.

We can even have separate HTMLs for each localization

and the html to use can be decided seeing the 

firefox's locale.

The button simply opens the sidebar and does 

nothing fancy presently.

Future 

======

* We need to communicate with the HTML to save 

all the requests made, just like in POSTMan.

* Further, we need to add support for collections

of the requests. 

I'm not sure if the communication support between sidebar 

and the addon is enough for this to work. But to me, 

sidebar is aptly sized for the given task, so let's

see how it goes.
