Websocket connections with postman

问题:

I'm using Postman to test an existing REST API. This API calls async functions on the server which return a response over a websocket using StompJS.

Is it possible to connect to the websocket using Postman?

回答1:

This is not possible as of May 2017, because Postman only works with HTTP methods such as POST, GET, PUT, DELETE.

P/S: There is a request for this if you want to upvote: github.com/postmanlabs/postman-app-support/issues/4009

回答2:

As the previous comment mentioned you can't do this in Postman. however, I found this Chrome app in the web store. It is very simple, but it's working really well with my local web socket connections.

Smart Websocket Client

You can use the tool APIC available here https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/apic-complete-api-solutio/ggnhohnkfcpcanfekomdkjffnfcjnjam. This tool allows you to test websocket which use either StompJS or native Websocket. More info here at www.myapic.com

I ran into the exact same problem. Had to make a Web Socket call. I was able to accomplish this using Advanced Rest Client. I'm using ARC version : 12.1.3

I've run into this issue often enough that I finally created my own barebones GUI for testing websockets. It's called Socket Wrench, it supports

• multiple concurrent connections to servers (with all responses and connections displayed in the same view),
• comprehensive message history to enable easy re-use of messages, and
• custom headers for the initial connection request.

It's available for Mac OS X, Windows and Linux and you can get it from here.
