Basics of HTTP
Use curl to test RESTful API
curl --insecure -X GET \ --header "Accept: application/json" \ --header "Authorization: Bearer geasrExampleTokengwsdvb" \ "https://host1.aws.example.com/ApiBaseLocation/v1/ApiName/Value"
Options explained
--insecuredisables ssl checks like the certificate chain check, etc.-X, --request <command>it defaults to GET commands, check HTTP1.1 specification for more-H, --header <header>(HTTP) Extra header to include in the request when sending HTTP to a server
Use Chrome addon Postman
Run Chrome in ssl disable verification mode in case you hit CN url mismatch in SSL certificate
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --ignore-certificate-errors
HTTP Prompt – An Interactive Command Line HTTP Client
Install
pip install http-prompt #requires root and sudo is not advised pip install --user http-prompt #local install in ~/.local/bin/http-prompt

sudo apt-get install httpie
