# Http Request Creator:
##What is it ?
It's a tool which allows you to create custom HTTP requests, allows easy edition of the URL & its query parameters, allows the addition of custom request headers and request body content, and allows viewing of the response, manipulation (Such as extracting content from HTML with a JQuery-Style CSS selector or a regex,), either as HTML, raw text, or code, a well as saving to file. **Note that it's woefully incomplete, and most stuff does not work yet.**
##What's it for ?
You can:
* Build and test web scrapers, as it lets you download HTML pages and run CSS selectors or regexes on them.
* Test REST APIs
* View the source HTML of webpages, JavaScript, and CSS files - there's a code formatter / prettyprinter built in (based on Google code prettify), as well a deminifier (both not really complete or working yet though)
* Automate things, such as logging into a website and fetching a specific piece of information.
* A ton of other stuff, whatever you can think of :-)
## Features
###What works:
* Edit the URL for your request, add / edit / remove / view query parameters and paths segments, and it does the URL encoding for you.
* Edit the Headers for your outgoing request, add headers (has autocomplete), view & remove.
* View the HTTP headers of the response
* View the response body as plaintext, rendered / formatted HTML, prettified code, and other options.
* Extract text and HTML from the response body text (If it's HTML) using a JQuery style CSS selector (Uses Jsoup under the hood).
###What doesn't work yet and needs to be implemented:
* UI is big, and only suitable for tablets
* Adding request body, at the moment the "Add request body" screen does nothing
* Regex extract and truncate the response body feature
* Some of the other options for viewing / modifying / saving the response.
* Help is missing
* Settings / Options is missing
* Lots of UI controls don't do anything yet.
* Loading webpages and intercepting / viewing assets and ajax requests they make.
* A whole lot of other stuff.
* (Code is somewhat messy and needs some refactoring.)
##Compiling:
Just import the project into Android Studio and hit "Run". Uses Jsoup and OkHttp as dependencies, Android Studio will fetch them automatically.
If you can help improving / completing it, please do !
