Purpose & Learning Objectives

Why this project exists and what the implementation should teach.

Purpose / Learning

Purpose

Build a visual request workbench that makes HTTP concepts inspectable instead of hidden inside application code.

Learning Objectives

  • Compose GET, POST, PUT/PATCH, and DELETE requests.
  • Edit headers, query parameters, and JSON bodies.
  • Inspect status codes and response headers.
  • Pretty-print JSON responses.
  • Compare request examples across browser and server tools.
  • Handle CORS and secret-bearing requests safely.

Technology Plan

Browser

Fetch API
JavaScript / TypeScript

Protocol

HTTP
REST

Data

JSON

Optional Local Helper

Node.js proxy for safe local experiments

04

Implementation Scope

Request builder
Expose the pieces of an HTTP request visually.
Response inspector
Show what came back without hiding protocol details.
Learning comparisons
Pair request examples with equivalent source snippets.
Safety boundary
Do not store production secrets in the public static interface.

Project Notes

Implementation context, boundaries, and later expansion.

Planned behaviors, architecture decisions, and evidence this project should produce.

Relationship

Pairs naturally with PHP Request Lab and TypeScript API Service.

Public Version

A static/public version should favor safe mock or public endpoints; local mode can do more.
