restful's Issues

Support File Attachments

Didn't quite work before the UI redesign. Rework and implement.

No support for Enumerations

If a reflected property is an enumeration, an error is thrown at:

ObjectConverter.cs, Line 46 (Invaild Cast Exception)

• Cannot convert from string to {enum}

Add URL Params

Similar to Headers implementation.
Also:

• Consolidate BaseAddress + Resource
  • I am not making use of HttpClient.BaseAddress
  • This should free up some UI space

Support Proxy

HttpClient supports proxy. Add Settings button and allow the user to add a Proxy.

Q:

• Does the proxy need to be setup prior to using the HttpClient the first time?

Dynamic Fields for HttpHeader

Instead of a TextBox, use dynamic controls to display. If a user enters one pair a second pair is added below it.

Includes:

• Changing the setting saved from string to dict?
• Changing the settings save method
• Changing the request builder
  • No longer split/parse the requestBody string
  • Add dict pairs to HttpRequestHeader.Add(header, value);

Export and Import the Request and Assembly Settings

Add ability to save the current request and assembly (if applicable) settings.
Add support to export and import.

Should they be saved as a custom data type?
Should they be saved in a collection of requests?

Changing Reflected Type Issue

If you change the selected Type, then the populated body should match.
Currently, it is only populating the first type selected.

Support Multiple Authentication Methods

Add support for the following:
None
Basic - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication#Client_side
Digest - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digest_access_authentication
oAuth1 - http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5849
oAuth2 - http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-oauth-v2-31

It looks like BASIC and DIGEST authentication uses HttpHeaders. OAuth1 and OAuth2 use query string parameters.

UI Redesign

UI Redesign. Will result in most code being rewritten or re-factored.

File Load Does not repopulate Types

Types ComboBox is not repopulated after loading a saved setting file (*.rest).

First query-string parameter not prefixed with ?

I had to put a ? in the URI to get a successful submission.

Move the Warning and Error textblocks

Move the TextBlocks to the Results Expander. Also, change the submit button to collapse the Results Expander until results come in. Also, change the Load Request to collapse the Results Expander.

Remove Headers Button not Updating Settings

Removing all headers and then closing results in the settings being loaded and repopulating the saved string.
Fix: Update setting upon Remove All Headers button click.
