Testing a request on a generic HTTP server

Testing HTTPGet(), HTTPPost(), or HTTPPut() requests on a generic HTTP test server can help verify your request is formatted correctly. Two commonly used test servers include:

  1. https://posttestserver.dev/ – Free, no login currently required.

  2. https://pipedream.com/ – Request Bin is accessible with a free account.

    NOTE:

    Post Test Server works for HTTPGet, Post, and Put.

Using Post Test Server:

  1. Open the Post Test Server URL

  2. Click the Open Random Box to generate a test environment.

  3. Copy the Post URL to use in your Get, Post, or Put tests in CRBasic.

    NOTE:

    Keep the web window open—closing it will delete your test box and results.

  4. Test your code and monitor the results in the web window.

    NOTE:

    Click Details to view the request headers, parameters, and body of your transaction.

  5. Once your test is successful, run your code on the real HTTP server and adjust it based on the server's documentation.
