Feature request: bring back the sidebar!

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,

I assume you had a good reason for removing the sidebar, so this might be a
longshot. However, the sidebar view of Poster was an incredibly useful
feature, particularly for demos. It allowed me to easily show how RESTful
requests dynamically update a web page, or display a web page with some
basic information about REST while I explain the requests and run them from
Poster.

Having to manage both the browser window and the Poster window is a bit
fiddly during a demo scenario.

Cheers,
Robin

I had a hard time making everything fit nicely in the sidebar.  If I brought 
back the sidebar, I'd want to simplify 
the options. 

If you had a simplified sidebar, what would it need to have?

Personally, in a simplified view:
- I could live without the timeout and auth elements.
- For the actions, just a drop-down & single button would be sufficient - no 
need for 
multiple big buttons (in fact, I only need GET/PUT/POST/DELETE).
- I could live without the headers & parameters tabs (content to send is 
necessary).

OK.  I'll see what I can do.  Are you willing to "beta test" this feature?
