Frequently Asked Questions
I strongly recommend against it. This fork is based heavily on the original RESTClient and therefore they both have similar preferences and databases. This may and will cause various conflicts.
If you notice some strange issues while both extensions are installed at the same time, remove both extensions and perform the procedure on this page that will clear any data that may cause conflicts. If any issues remain, they are not related to conflicts between RESTClient extensions.
Sometimes it's necessary to reset state of RESTCLient APS extension to defaults. To do that, preferences and SQLite database need to be removed.
- This will wipe all data that is related RESTClient and RESTClient APS, such as: request history, bookmarks, settings and preferences.
- Note: This will not remove or alter any data that is not relevant to RESTClient and RESTClient APS extensions if you perform the procedure correctly.
Here are the steps:
- Remove RESTClient APS extension through Firefox
Addonsmenu. - Close Firefox (make sure to close all its windows you may have open).
- Go to your Firefox profile folder. This KBA may help.
- Remove
restclient.sqlite. - Open
prefs.jswith any text editor. Remove all lines that start withuser_pref("extension.restclient.. - Start Firefox and re-install the extension.
No, that is not and most likely will never be planned. You should not use obsolete browser (any software, actually) versions.
If you are an administrator at an enterprise, extended support release (esr channel) of Firefox can be downloaded here. It is in your best interests that your users the most up-to-date versions of software.
If you are an individual, I suggest using stable release channel (it can be installed even without Administrator-level machine access), you can download latest version here.
Not at that time. My humble opinion on this is that Chrome can not be considered a good browser.
If someone wants to make that happen, I will gladly provide any information that may help in developing such an extension.
Why do you have Username and Password fields [9] on APS panel? It seems to work fine without them.
It only works fine because authentication is disabled for OA API (that is usually done on testing environments, unlike the picture below, host whitelist is also enabled when that is the case):
It is always better to have this feature and not need it than need it and not have it.
That is because APS token expires every 30 minutes by default and therefore slightly lower timeout was chosen here. Read more about it here.
