Added a Request Body textarea along with a corresponding Content-Type definition. Code taken directly from the following fork: https://github.com/taggiasco/resttesttest Patches in that fork included many other changes, so can't provide a direct link.

This pull request also helps with Issue #7

Hi, How do you deal with parameters ? Since you have a body, parameters are ignored for the moment. In my fork, I added a "buildArguments" which appends the parameters to the URL (only when you have a body). Not sure if it is the right way of doing this, but the request seems to be correctly handled by the test service (https://httpbin.org/put). Best regards, Matt

@taggiasco Ah, an excellent point, thank you. My attempts to keep the pull request as simple/small as possible missed that fact, and my tests all used headers+body and not parameters. I'll update the pull request at some point.

@taggiasco @jeroenooms Okay, this merge request seems fine now. I don't fully understand this topic yet as I'm still learning the ins and outs of REST APIs (and HTTP requests in general).

Is there any plan to finally merge this and add this functionality?

@bracco23 This project is no longer active (no commits in 2+ years) so I doubt it.

You know you can easily deploy your own version right? It's just static html. You can upload it to anywhere you want and it'll work :)

@jeroen True, although it's easier to click a button (download) than worry about applying patches :) But I suspect you'll not merge this PR as to keep https://resttesttest.com/ as is, right? Understandable, of course.
