Firefox extension - UrlParams

Homepage: http://urlparams.blogwart.com/share/index.php
Install: Click here
Mozilla.org: https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=1290&application=firefox

The extension UrlParams of Firefox browser displays the parameters and the values sent to the server when we submit a form. These values are displayed in the sidebar. (picture on homepage)

The sidebar gives you the ability to select the parameters that can be sent and if need be you can add your own paramters.

There are two sections in the UrlParams sidebar, One displays the paramters sent using the GET method and the other displays the parameters sent using the POST method. After altering you can press the submit button to have these values submitted or press the submit (new tab) button to open a new tab with the same URL but with new values.

I think this extension will be of good use to Web Developers to debug web applications, as they need not add extra lines of code to their program to display the recieved values. :D

The sidebar also displays the Refer property of HTTP protocol, which can be altered.

External links: HTTP Made easy.
