Question

How can I send a POST request with a web browser?

This isn't a duplicate because it does not request an extension or a tool but specifically limits to browser only. Which yielded the superb answer by @oezi — datv

With a form, just set method to "post":

<form action="blah.php" method="post"> <input type="text" name="data" value="mydata" /> <input type="submit" /> </form>

Or you can use Chrome Poster ( chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chrome-poster/… ) or Firefox Poster ( addons.mozilla.org/ru/firefox/addon/poster ) extentions, if the purpose is testing.

thank you! this was my only resort because I can't download useful extensions like "Postman" at my workplace.

You can create an HTML page with a form, having method="post" and action="yourdesiredurl" and open it with your browser.

As an alternative, there are some browser plugins for developers that allow you to do that, like Web Developer Toolbar for Firefox.
