Desired features

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Thanks for this app I just discover yesterday!

Here are some of the features I would appreciate to have in CocoaRestClient:

1.- Other non standard methods, like COPY (used with Apache CouchDB server), 
may be configurable methods would do the trick.

2.- It is tedious to choose the method, please add short cuts

3.- Same comment for selecting tabs for Request and Response views.

4.- Also, summary for Req/Resp would help to have a quick overview. I suggest 
to have the capability to switch (menu + short cut) between the current 
Req-Resp view to a new overview view. The overview would be a read only tree 
view to simply display subviews Request Body, Request Headers, Auth, Files, 
Response Boby, Response Headers, Request Headers Sent. User may expand/collapse 
each subview in the tree and the application should remember which subviews are 
expanded for later sessions.

5.- Request Headers: does not work properly. Maybe just allow to write Name and 
Value as plain text. Providing defaults names and values would be a plus (but 
not the priority).

5.- Add a menu and shortcut to open the Response body in the default web 
browser (and other external apps?).

6.- Pretty printing the Response body for json, xml and other formats or 
displaying as images would help (see 
http://softwaremaniacs.org/soft/highlight/en/). A popup menu on the Response 
Body view will select the language to beautify and highlight.

7.- Export capability for response body to file.

8.- Allow user to open more than one window.

The application works very well yet (but point 5) and I hope you will take my 
suggestions as an opportunity to enhance the application and not as a negative 
critique.
I stay tuned.
Cheers,
Joe

1. Added COPY; will work on making this a configurable list.
2. This is something else I can look into. Not sure what the obvious shortcuts 
would be to choose each method though... suggestions?
3. Perhaps judicious use of the tab key could work here... 
4. & 5. This'll take more work, I'll have to think about it. 
5. Menu item to open in default browser or external app is now there. 
6. Pretty printing is in 1.3.3, working on improving it. 
7. Export to file is in 1.3.3
8. Something I've wanted to do for a while, but will take a major overhaul of 
the interface, which is already giving me headaches in Xcode. Not sure when 
I'll get to this. 

Thanks!

• Added labels: Usability

1. Resize or hide the request/headers/auth/file section so I can view more of 
the response without scrolling
2. Alternative to the Saved requests drawer, preferably a list inside the main 
window that allows for longer request names
