Using the appication

To use the application make post or get requests to one of the following end points:

• http://localhost:3000/tester
  • Returns json response containing headers, cookies, and formdata (if post request) or query parameters (if get request)
• http://localhost:3000/tester/view
  • Returns html view containing headers, cookies, and formdata (if post request) or query parameters (if get request) where each li element has an id which is the key of the request(ie: cookie name) and the innertext is the value. Therefore you can access these elements with css id query (ie: #cookie_name).
