# Http Request Repository This repository stores a windows application project (Desktop + .NET + C#). The public (instead of private) nature of this repository is for development demonstration. It is not for distribution. It is for exploring, reading, or learning from. To that extent, this repository does not include the future application's full source code. ## Main The application, called HTTP Request, provides a GUI means of sending customized HTTP requests and displaying the response data in useful ways. It provides a close inspection of request and response data in server-based web environments. For developers or security analysis, this tool promotes testing, inspecting and improving your website's behavior.  ## Where do I begin? 1. The application is released as an .exe, [here](https://github.com/robhowe-A/WinHttpRequest/releases) 2. The zip contains the application 3. Complete the form and click "Send" 4. You're started! HTTP Request is a working tool, not designed as an attractive, refined display product. Styles are basic in many elements. Developed in Forms style, the app is useful with data in different sizes, large or small. Responsive (responsive applications expand or collapse or move elements to fit the window size) and dynamically adaptive view controls make it easy to read and sift data up to 1920 x 1920 max dimensions.  ## How to use the application Enter any url and select a method for the request. The default is a GET request. Use the options or change the input parameters for your requests. Some functionality is for development purposes and may not function. ## Security Part of web security with requests is the headers sent with the request. When POST requests are sent (along with the other requests adding a message body), a StringContent is made in the code for the request. This provides security and ensures the text added to the form is valid string characters to prevent malicious requests from being sent. -------- © 2024–2026, Robert Howell All rights reserved. #### Tags – (optional)Updates
