Total Surprise!

I’ve been migrating several older Rails and PHP web-apps over to be more RESTful rails-api based. Over the last couple of years I’ve played around with several REST client tools like this but always ended up with a script of CURL one-liners in the end because the tools seemed to get in the way more than actually help. With PAW things are very different and for the first time the tool actually seems to work for and with me.

A couple of things I would really like to see added:

1. Environment variables are awesome, how about being able to add environment wide headers. For example I use token based authentication on nearly every API call and it would be great to be able to set this once environment or group wide.

2. I realize this may not be the best tool for this, but with a few expectation matchers this could be really be useful for integration testing. Since I have a full set of API calls in Paw and they can all be called with a button click it would be amazing to just do full integration tests right here by matching expected results and response codes.
